Gel Flavor Tip

I’m apparently sensitive to flavor clashing and mixing a strongly flavored gel with whatever’s in my bottle has ruined more than one long ride. Unflavored gels solve this cleanly — no competing tastes, no flavor fatigue building up over three hours, and you can drink whatever mix you want without thinking about whether the gel fights with it. It’s a small quality-of-life improvement that most nutrition guides don’t bother mentioning.
