Yes it is littering and you are subject to penalty if caught (abandoned equipment or something like that). Tuck it in your shorts or pockets until you get to a water stop - you can toss it there. Same goes on the bike.

Fastest way to get the locals angry - trash your race course (their streets, front yards, sidewalks, trails, etc.) while they're going out of their way to give you a good experience.

Yep. Stick it in you pocket, bra, shorts wherever until you find a garbage can official drop spot. That goes for the little tab that rips off the top too.

Volunteer at a race on the clean up crew and you won't want to do it again.

Yes if you throw trash on the ground I would call it littering....I hold onto it until the first aid station and toss in the trash can or tuck in my shorts, top etc.

You just need to ride around the Ironman course in Penticton any Monday morning during summer to see the result of the previous weekends long ride and run training.

Don't tear the tab all the way off (or leave it attached to your bike). When done, stuff in the back of your shorts/briefs. Leave at aid station or finish area garbage.

I have always thought it was littering and I hate that so I have tucked it away and gotten a little bit of sticky on me. But I have seen people just throw it on the ground so I didn't know. So I will keep holding onto it. Thanks for the input!

Yes it is littering, absolutely. Stick it in your bra when you are done.

completely disgusting isn't it? what is wrong with people?

Save those Gu wrappers; if you send them into the Gu company they'll send you free Gu (you need 200 of them. I am at 156 :-)

if you send in 50 of them they donate money to some charities.

Better yet buy the large bottles of gel and decant into a flask. No wrappers and better value for money. A win/win situation!

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

I didn't know that! We go through enough and I like to help clean up after some of the races locally....maybe if we can gather the stuff we can use it as good PR for the club, too. And LORD KNOWS we go through enough of it....

I just shove the wrappers under the leg of my shorts - I have little scars on both legs where they've rubbed holes in my legs...and I usually wind up with ridiculously sticky spots...it's good to know I can now have a reason to put little holes in my legs!

The name of the program is "stash your trash."

Chocolate, and mint chocolate, are like brownie batter. MMMMMMmmmmmmm.

and you get to mix and match! or dilute to your favorite viscosity

mmmm thinned out chocolate-espresso-tri-berry-love.

(I'm only half serious about flavor mixing... haven't tried it, but sure it would work. Thinning out, however, works great)

LOL, I've considered mixing them before. Do you think chocolate + espresso would give you a good mocha flavor? Or chocolate + orange?

I imagine that chocolate-espresso would be pretty good, but I've never been a fan of orange and chocolate, so I wouldn't be a good judge of that. I typically can't stand strawberry-banana, but I wonder if it plus chocolate would be any good?
