Velociraptor Jul 2013 7:22pm, 20 Jul 2013 26,292 posts	0 Velociraptor We're really particular about which sports drinks we'll buy for that reason, Hann. Not just avoiding a fructose load, but also avoiding artificial sweeteners with laxative properties. Torq, Accelerade (which I like because the protein content means it's less sweet and has a distinctive taste) and Clif are the only ones that make it into our bottles.

Hanneke Jul 2013 7:49pm, 20 Jul 2013 61,980 posts	0 Hanneke Yup, same here! I get the Torq stuff because of the team, however, I started using it before team membership, as it is good and properly made, no rubbish. Same goes for the Cliff stuff. I tried Accellerade for the first time on a training ride last week. I won a whole tub of it last season... I am not too sure about it, but I think I made it too strong...

They agreed to a free repair, despite being (just) outside the three-year warranty, lent me a machine while mine is being repaired, all delivered / collected to me giving a one-hour delivery window. Very impressed.

I was actually very tired, so appreciated it ... but to my embarrassment when he said "It's a bit fuller than normal; I seem to have given you a triple", I replied "I'm a bit tired-er than normal, so that's fine." Tired-er? I made up a word; I must've been tired. [Insert cringing face.]
