Round #4 - Margarita Goo

The recipe (fills up 50mL flask twice):
3 tbsp Gatorade G2 mix, dissolved in less than 1.5 tsp of lime juice (for electrolytes and taste)
3/4 c brown rice syrup (for maltose & glucose)
1/4 c mix of agave nectar and honey (for fructose)
12 mill grinds of sea salt (for taste, and I presume electrolytes, but a google of that just leaves me befuddled)

Taste:  Tastes good!  Mike says it has a little powdered-Gatorade taste, and I think it might be a tad on the salty side, so maybe next time I’ll do less of both ingredients.

Ease of Use: The consistency is perfect.  No goo volcano this time!  I didn’t find anything wrong with it.

Performance: I used it on the 100-mile 3 State 3 Mountain Challenge yesterday, and nothing bad happened.  But I ate so many things at rest stops and drank so much Gatorade, it was a small portion of what I had total.

Round #3 - Mango Goo

Round #3 - Mango Goo

The recipe:

1  tbsp of Osmo mango, dissolved in mere drops of water  (for electrolytes and taste)
1/4 c brown rice syrup (for maltose & glucose)
1 tbsp agave nectar (for fructose)

Taste:
I think I should have used the whole packet of Osmo, which I think is about 2 tbsp.  You can’t really taste the mango at all.  I guess it’ll have some electrolytes though.

Ease of Use:
I think this’ll be better than the explosion of lemon-lime goo.  First of all, I made a smaller batch so the flask isn’t so full.  Then I put as little water as possible to dissolve the Osmo and put it in the microwave to warm it up so it dissolved faster.

Performance:
I used it on a 54-mile ride including two climbs up Signal Mountain.  It worked out pretty well!  At least nothing bad happened. :)
