Default Liquid / semi liquid nutrition in 200 km rides



Hello,

Trying to figure what Is the best nutrition for me in long rides I've been trying both solid and liquid nutrition rotationally..

I would like to learn from other's experience, anybody's completing long rides on liquids only with no stomach (or other !) incidents ?



I'm fixing a very thick gel from maltodextrin (DE 18 – approx 300 gr Malto on each 100 ml water (!!!) - this can only be used by squeezing little plastic bags - and would of course not work with those Hammer / Power.B bottles)



Say I'm planning on an intake of 450 Kcal / hr - I guess one has to be really careful not to miss taking in-time (get bonk)



Should such thick Gel (made with Bananas puree too) work better then regular density gel (which is ~ 2.5 cal / gr) ?



Thanks!
