I carry my powders in a Hammergel flask (or two).

One flask is big enough to give me 2-3 bottles' worth, and it doesn't have all the inconvenience of a plastic baggie. Until I stumbled on the Hammergel flask idea, I used ziplock baggies etc., and had a terrible time with them. My handlebar bag was constantly sticky inside, and smelled terrible from all the spilled powder from when the baggies broke, or leaked, or whatever. And don't ever get a ziplock baggie full of powder wet (don't get caught in a rain storm). Take it from me, the result is disasterous!!

I've got three flasks in my handlebar bag ... one has hammergel, one has one of my home-made drink mixes, the other has HEED. When I finish the home-made drink mix, I'll probably fill that one with HEED too.

(I tried Accelerade and ... let's just say it doesn't sit well with me. I tried Cytomax, which isn't terrible, but I get tired of it very quickly. I tried Gatorade/Powerade, etc., and they give me fuzzy teeth and mouth sores. HEED works!)


BTW - I use film cannisters for my spare bulbs.
