If you haven’t already heard, Airborne Bicycles has an awesome opportunity for regular folk like you to become part of their Flight Crew.

Airborne Bicycles Opens Flight Crew Applications

January 23rd, Centerville, OH: Airborne Bicycles has announced the 3rd annual Call For
Entries for its grassroots Flight Crew program, the company announced on its website last
week.

Unlike other sponsorship programs, Airborne is looking for citizen riders with the
personality, social media presence, and communication skills to represent the Airborne
brand, the company says.

“We’re not looking for racers specifically,” said Product Manager Jeremy Mudd, “but if you
happen to race, that’s OK, too. What we really want is riders who can communicate their
passion for cycling to others through established blogs, video, or other media.”

“Current Flight Crew members include bike shop employees, students, print shop workers,
and a stay-at-home mom,” Mudd explained. “What matters is not what you do for a living,
but how you’re able to reach other cyclists, including folks who are coming into the sport for
the first time.”

In addition to free bikes, gear, and other schwag, Flight Crew members will represent
the Airborne brand at local events. Just as important, they will have the opportunity to
participate in the product development process, giving input on new models as Airborne
brings them to market.

Flight Crew applicants must be over 18 years of age, have an established social media
presence, and not be affiliated with competing sponsors. Applications are being
accepted through February 19th and are available at http://www.airbornebicycles.com/
flightcrewapplication.aspx.

I received a small sample kit of Chocolate #9 to review. But to be up front, I really didn’t think this stuff would work nor taste good. You see, I’ve had various brands such as Hammer Gel, Gu, and the like in my stomach and most, if not all of them have always given me a stomach ache or made me feel more tired than energized.

Here’s their claim to fame:

Chocolate #9 is different because it:

is sweetened only with organic agave.
contains no refined sugar or other HIGH glycemic index sweeteners.
has been – tested and certified – as a “LOW” glycemic index (GI) item.
Chocolate #9 LOW GI gel reduces the negative effect of repetitive insulin “spiking” during sustained exercise.
won’t cause a sugar high or a sugar low – bonk.
is an excellent energy choice for endurance athletes.
is suitable for most diabetics – and used by Team Type 1.
is an excellent choice for those not wanting to eat refined sugar.
is vegan, low fat and gluten free.
contains no synthetics – no unpleasant aftertastes – tastes great.
contains no “mystery” ingredients, colorings, or preservatives.
is easy on the stomach.
best of all — Chocolate #9 tastes great.

The nutritional facts on the package, 70 calories per packet.

How it looks.

I bet you’re wondering how it tasted? Well…I gotta say this has to be THE BEST TASTING energy gel I’ve EVER HAD! No exaggeration! Chocolate #9 is not overly sweet, and not too chocolatey. In fact I thought it tasted just right. With other brands, their chocolate tastes like chocolate milk syrup, but with Chocolate #9, I thought it tasted like a mild cake frosting. It was simply good!

The texture was very smooth, just wash it down with a swig of water and within 15 or so minutes, you’ll start to feel it working. When you’re riding this stuff (see below) for a few hours, you’ll eventually need a snack or something to help keep you pedaling. With the Chocolate #9, it can fit into your shorts, jersey or hydration pocket and pull it out at your next snack break.

So does this stuff work? I’d say it did for me. Not once did my stomach hurt or feel like I crashed from the sugar rush. I guess that’s where the benefit of a low glycemic energy gel comes in handy. Basically the whole idea is to have a slow burn so it will last you through out your ride/work out. If you feel that you want a change in your energy gel, you should really consider Chocolate #9.
