Ah- hard to escape that stuff.
For me it was a no-brainer, though. My stomach won't let me drink fizzy pop anymore.

I don't really drink sports drinks, so I'm not an expert by any means. I'd suggest reading the ingredients on some down at your local Whole Foods or Earth Fare or whatever you might have where you live.
Actually, Gatorade Powder shouldn't have HFCS, since it's dry and HFCS is a syrup. It's probably far cheaper, too, since they don't have to ship all of that water. Not to mention better for the environment to avoid all those plastic bottles.

I'll have to ask my roomie what he drinks during his bike rides.
I know that he's discovered the best sports recovery drink to be chocolate milk- I'm not kidding.

Looking around, the powder form seems like the best option. Sadly, it's not as convenient as just grabbing a bottle from the fridge, but oh, well.

Well, for regular hydration, that's about all I do drink. During physical competition, however, I feel like I perform better when using a sports drink, rather than just pure water -- based purely on personal non-scientific anecdotal evidence, of course. Over the course of a hockey game, I'll generally drink two quarts of gatorade/water mixed equally.

I happen to have some powdered Gatorade in my cube. The ingredients lists; sucrose, dextrose, citric acid, salt, sodium citrate, natural lemon and lime flavor with other natural flavors, monopotassium phosphate, calcium silicate (a flow agent), yellow 6.
edit:
This is for the lemon & lime flavoured version purchased in the US. Don't know about the other flavours or other parts of the globe.

Well, yes, but I still have to mix it myself. I'm terrible at remembering to do things like that ahead of time.

Do like I do and mix it up and keep it in the freezer, frozen. I keep it that way in my Camelback, and it thaws at just about the same rate that I drink it, so I have it nice and cold for the full duration of my ride.

I've done similar when kayaking -- starting out with a frozen bottle -- but I don't think that'd be a good plan for hockey. Judging by the rate it melts when kayaking, I have serious doubts that it would be thawing at rate I need during a hockey game (two quarts/hour).
I still have about a box and a half of the bottled stuff to go through (which I drink at a rate of one a week), but I'll switch to the powder after that.

I recently discovered that Subway puts HFCS in their bread. , though not all of their bread contains it. I've pretty much ditched Subway, in favour of Quizno's, anyway. Their subs are much better... I have a sneaky suspicion that most grocery store bread in the US also contains HFCS. I'll have to check the label when I get home.

I've pretty much ditched Subway, in favour of Quizno's, anyway. Their subs are much better... I did the same a long time back, being that my first job ages ago was at Quizno's store #5. However, moving to Austin has provided me with some great alternatives to both. On the toasted side, we have Which Wich? with a pretty unique ordering system, and then on the cold and cheep side we have Thundercloud Subs. Both are smaller chains started in the area and are quite popular. While Jersey Mike's isn't a local place, they are good too, and yet another place I have on a list of sub places to go before resorting to Subway.

In Austin, I always thought Thundercloud had tasty subs. Also, I seem to recall that Delaware Sub Shop (another local chain) made a pretty darn good East Coast style sub. I guess "Which Which?" wasn't around when I was there.
