A mate of mine used to drink Lion when we were at varsity in the 90s, his reasons were;

 

1 they were always cold

2 nobody ever stole your beer or had a sip

3 he liked the confused look on the barman’s face when he ordered it

4 if it was a bar lady she had to bend down way low to get the lion out of the bottom back of the fridge with obvious benefits

 

I am sure there were a few more but I can’t remember them

5. Nobody ever picked a fight with him because they KNEW he would break the Lion over their heads and stick the teeth into their stomachs.

[Me rida my bicycle]

A lekker beer ???? before the ride and depending on distance but another about at 45km and 1 more 5km from the end for that last sprint ???? have done this test at Bloemendal, do first lap no beer then 1 beer per lap. You will be amazed at how your times improve but best you know your limits. I am good for 6 laps after that I start taking chances ????????

Race day brekkie - depends on distance.

 

Local flat races I usually stick to 1 cuppa java and between 150-200g pasta with some flavour, followed by a Fastbar just before we start. The best, and maybe time consuming method IMHO is to calculate equate your race day BURN RATE to your pre-race calorie CONSUMPTION. On a hard-ish ride I know I burn 500kcal/hour, in a race 600kcal/hour. 947 is a sub-3 race, so I know I need to get in 1800kcal. Sound pretty woes, but if you don't do it you're going to bonk somewhere. 

 

I also drink a glass of water with some Rehidrat. 

 

Every person is different, with a different metabolism, so constant tweaking is a must.

2 entjies en 'n koppie koffie

Ek word wakker in die oggend langs 'n Guiloises-blonde

My eerste koppie koffie is moer ongesond

Sewe lepels suiker vir my klem-in-die-kaak,

'n lyn cocaine en Benilin na smaak

I have a tried and tested formula for pre-race preparation.

 

1. Stay up too late the night before fiddling with my bike, time mostly spent wiping things down, checking bolts etc.
2. Get out of bed 13min after the optimistically-set alarm has gone off, now late already.
3. Try to stealthily get dressed in a hurry in the proximity of my sleeping wife. Inevitably wake and annoy sleeping wife with "have you seen my chewbacca socks? I really want to wear my chewbacca socks. I was saving them and now they're not in my drawer.". 
4. Get to the kitchen to realise I didn't prepare the muesli-fruit-swedish yoghurt-angel tear breakfast of champions I had planned to the night before as I ran out of time (see point 1.)
5. Munch down the rock hard, ice cold remainder of the McD's cheeseburger my daughter left over. Maybe some stale chips and a two-day old leftover boerewors hastily dunked in the mayonaise jar for some moisture as a side.
6. Eat one of the Snackers I had bought specifically for the race while loading stuff in the car.
7. Eat a banana in the car. Also meant for the race. Now only have one feed item left for the race.
8. Eat said remaining item in the start chute.

It's worked an absolute treat for me so far.
