Just to be clear to all those interested readers out there: I don’t use table sugar to fuel during rides. I’m a plain dextrose guy. For ultra distance rides I’ll throw in the fructose. I don’t like table sugar because it leaves a bunch of phlegm in my throat & (believe it or not) I prefer the flavor of dextrose.
@freshturk asked if anybody just uses plain sugar and I knew that the good Doctor Alex Harrison had advocated that approach in the past. So I mentioned that. I concluded that post by asking ‘what does he know?’ and I just want to stress this was strictly a rhetorical question. Nobody wants Dr Alex to fill up the rest of this thread with everything he knows. That could go on forever.
