Well, from what you and E/O have said, cyclists DO use the gels. I stand corrected. Although my Buddy who does Ironmans carries hamburgers for the bike ride. Not gels. He's fast, but he's not elite. Personally, I could much more easily eat a banana at mile 19 than some GU. For me, GU is drive-heave-city.

The hamburger eating people who are at least "fast" on through to elite are the exceptions.
From my experience the thought of any real food is dry heave city, although my gastrointestinal systems largely shut down during races.
I have spent more days existing on espresso, gels and cola than I can remember.
Those were the days indeed.
