Or, on doubles, I use a Camelback and put the Hammer mix in there (plain water in the bottle), which works fine (but requires a detailed cleaning of the Camelback after the ride!). Just FYI I rode 9 doubles last year, but the only "quite hard" one was Mt. Tam.

Thanks. Usually on longer rides, I use either SE or Perpetuem. I will eat more and rest more. Thanks to all!!!!
