I tried to find the information in previous posts, but it did not work... So hopefully someone can give me a quick answer.
Where can I buy Gu Gels (Sydney stores or online)?
Otherwise, what are the main gels used by runners in Sydney, and where can I find them?
Hopefully, I can find a place to buy gels (but not only the banana or vanilla ones   :)  
Thanks in advance!

If you are not after any brand in particular, fuelbelt sell some from their oz website  here . I have used the e-fuels and personally found they work for me on long runs. The price is what would prevent me buying more once my current stocks are used up.

Cheers,

The running shop in Frenchman's Road, Randwick sells them.  Got a few different flavours.  Tried them for the first time today during 30km run, worked well. [think it was tri-berry flavour}

Don't know if you are a Strider, Yabbie.  If so, you can get Gu's from the club for $2.20 each  :) , if not, Rebel and bike shops have them for about $3.50 each   <_<

If you are particularly after GU energy gels, I found this online store to be quite helpful. I personally use Hammer gels myself, but you can find GU products on this site as well. Often I go for bulk packs with a mixture of falvours as they are cost effective & also I know they're there when I need them. Like 'Yabbie' mentioned, I also like to try a variety of flavours in my gels. Not just vanilla & banana........:blush:

Hi JazzMan - thanks for that link (I can't help but think you are somehow affiliated considering that is your first post?).

Just wondering if you know anything about postage charges from that site?

The postage charges are clearly written on each of the products.

To see this you need to click on the product. I did not do this. Thank you for informing me of the error of my way.
