Lame Excuse and an Update
Let me start off with the Lame Excuse part of the title.
I have been burried at work so my posts have been a tad neglected. I will be out of town next week as well, so things aren't looking up until after then. I'll still try and get in a post of two of bicycle related gear goodness, though. There... whew... I feel better. If you really need a blog fix, head over HERE and post a comment saying Jon needs to post more often.
Now for the update.
I've been using the Gel-Bot -- as has Jon, ask him about it -- and I like it! Sure, at first I thought it might be kind of gimicky, but in reality it's made my bottle my one stop for energy. You see, the Gel portion will hold two servings of your favorite energy gel. The Bot portion holds a little less than a large water bottle of liquid -- it's the size of a large water bottle, but the gel holder takes up some of that room.
I use the Gel part for, um... gel and I use the bottle part for Cytomax. I carry a second bottle of water. If I'm on a long enough ride that I'll need the gel, I'll need two bottles. This way, if I need an energy boost of either kind, semi-solid or liquid, I reach for the same place. Another benefit that this bottle has, is that the spout is HUGE. It flows a ton of liquid. I like that. A lot.
I'll have a full write up on GearReview.com soon.

I think this bottle is best for medium-length rides--basically, rides that aren't so long that you'll need to stop and fill up with water.
For instance, when I did my century, I elected not to use the GelBot, as I knew carrying enough water was important. Also, I knew that I'd need much more gel than two servings, so it wasn't worth it to me to bring the GelBot and fiddle with it.
However, I really like using it for those 2-4 hour rides when I need some gel, but not more than two servings.
Also, I haven't posted because I haev a lot of things to say, and not enough time to post them all. :)
