Anyone have experience with Skratch products during endurance rides?  I'm intrigued with this video explaining why their electrolyte drink at only 80 calories within 16 oz. of water is better than more calories.

I was using it this past weekend for our 400k. I loved it and had a great experience with it. The flavors are mild and and not to syrup like. I also was using the Allen Lym rice cakes which I also recommend.

I've been training with Skratch products for about a year with very good results.  I've had no stomach issues or any cramping.  I would point out that you need to be sure and not use more than the recommended amount of powder per bottle.  The acidity will rise significantly and will be hard on your mouth.

I raced Calvin's Challenge (12 hour race) a couple of weeks ago and was still happy drinking Skratch at the end of the ride.

I used this drink when it was called secret drink mix "X".  It works very well on re-hidration but as it says it is not for calorie replacement.  You must eat.  I also use the feed zone cook book and love the meals.  No GI problems, great taste and very satisfing.
