[Hello Ruan]

1. Berry Muesli (Woolies most of the time)

2. Add grapes most of the time (The 1kg containers go for 39.99 or even 29.99) or any other fruit that is on special

3. Fat free yogurt

4. Topped with some honey

I eat this before all my rides.

One day event: most important - do not over-nutrition but keep hydrated (water).

 

Like most said above, have what you have every day about an hour before start. Don't gum and goo and game before or during the race - those things are loaded with sugar and besides for clever marketing they are good for nothing.

 

And lastly, I believe in a banana like Faf believes in a box kick...

Leftovers and coffee.

I guess the pro riders eats the wannabees for breakfast?

Perhaps worth reposting a link to this article A scientific guide to race day nutrition.

What I have for breakfast most days, that way there are no surprises for my stomach.

 

Muesli, fresh fruit, small Joghurt drink all mixed with water and some chocolate flavour protein powder

 

Try keep it simple

2 cups of water

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp butter

1 cup Jan Pap (its the best and delicious)

 

1. Pour the water into a medium pot, add the salt and butter and bring to the boil.

2. Slowly pour the maize meal into the pot to form a cone in the centre but don’t stir!

3. Cover with the lid, reduce the heat to low and allow the pap to simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Using a large fork (such as a carving fork), stir it until crumbly and cover again with the lid. Simmer for an hour on low heat.That's what the recipe says but I find 30 mins more than adequate because I have reduced the quantities

 

This will serve 2.

 

I am not too fond of a specially made onion and tomato sous and prefer some liberal dashes of peri peri sauce together with the juices of a rare steak or peri peri chicken.

A hot mango atchar goes well with this as well.The Woolies one is the best for my taste

 

If you are doing a braised lamb shank this is also a good accompaniment but Polenta is more suited for that

Thank you Sir!

I think i have convinced myself for a kiepie and pap tomorrow

 

Had a good exp when I went into Wimpy at ORT recently for the first time in yonks and saw chicken and pap with peri peri sauce.

Not bad actually
