Hi guys

 

Doing the MTB 94.7 next week, what would be good ideas for dinner the Saturday evening.

An extremely hot curry, seriously.......anything you want.

Lots and lots of beer with a hamburger. Hi-carb supper, bit of protein to wash it down

 

I just usually whack together a lekka pasta dish with whatever I feel like - maybe turn it into a mac and cheese, or pasta with some pumpkin and bacon and white sauce, then bake in the oven.

 

Then on race morning I either have my normal pre-ride breakfast: protein shake or two baked eggs (easy to digest and therefore no heavy stomach).

+1 on the pasta, but from a place you can trust if buying out.

You don't want to start on a dodgy stomach the next morning.

Unless it's an ultra-distance event (in which case, the night before is too late), just eat what you'd eat the night before any other ride and make sure you have a good breakfast. The only restriction would be to stay away from anything that might disrupt your sleep or give you an upset stomach the next day.

Good wholesome meal.

No creamy sauces.

No serious spicy.

 

Don't eat too late.

Don't eat more than usual.

Anything in my opinion. Not far enough to have to have a special chow.

There it is, the pasta carbo loading myth... Yes it works, for the first hour maybe. It's still better than going for the extra hot curry :-)

Isn't it Thursday and Friday supper that's more important?

I stick to something light like fish. Carbo loading the night before does not work for me

Everybody is different

To ensure that I'm hungry AGAIN before sleep time I have to eat fish. To me it has no filling power
