Well I tried the combo today, it was GREAT. I finished stronger and rode harder throughout, I really like perpetum. I really worked myself out today so I had some recoverite when i got home. I gotta say when the ride was over, before I had the recoverite i felt a little sick to my stomach. I think it might have been the repetitive hammer bars. I'm considering giving it a shot with perpetum over the solid food even though it would make things more complicated in my oppinion. Also Hammer Bars are very expensive and I'm becoming less and less of a fan of cliff bars and lara bars.

This ride really made me realize i was under eating and under doing it big time with electrolytes in the past. I really liked the feeling that I had lost a lot of weight after a ride but a ride like this shut me down or 2 days, now that I'm using recoverite after long hard rides and eating more I feel like I have alot more energy.
