400 calories for an hour?! No way man, there's no way I need that much usually when I do that ride with the out and back it comes to two hours and I do it on 1 bottle of heed 1 bottle of water and maybe a few. If I'm endurolytes feeling week i MIGHT pop a gel, but usually not. I can't stand drinking my calories so I'm doing perpetum in the first hour to get me through the hard part of the ride.
