Anyone have any good ideas on where to carry gels during a race whilst wearing a speedsuit without pockets? Tried up the leg 'cuff' and just isn't very comfortable. Making a pocket out of the race number is an option, but a fairly fiddly and time consuming one!

    I will only wear my skinsuit for races when
    it is warm enough for starters
    races an hour or so or less, so won't need any gels etc
    longer races, then it is a race jersey with pockets

    Cheap option is electrical tape on the top tube up by the head set covering the rip off tab, then just pull off.

    You could always buy one of these http://yhst-23758631279865.stores.yahoo ... proel.html which I have and use on longer Tri distance races where I need to carry more than 1 or 2 gels.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.
