How many times do you goo eaters stop in a ride?

I almost never use them, they have only about a hundred calories per pack. You'd have to stop or fumble around with one every 20 to 30 min to really even help delay a bonk at all. I put my fuel in 32oz bottles for up to a three hour non-stop ride. There's just no way I'd want to mess with the 8 to 12 gel packs I'd want on a 4 hour metric.

750cal/hour x 4hrs = 3000cal
3000cal - (120cal x 2) = 2760calorie defecit

2 gel packs is like p!$$ing in the ocean.
