Vetseun Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 So off I go to my mtb group ride this morning. We are doing a fast 60 km. Lekker. Loaded with a bottle of water. T Man dont use anything besides a bottle of water for a 60km ride. Get to the ride, get informed that I should have left my cell phone on last night, then I would have got the sms that the ride has evolved into a 100km fast ride. I was okay until 75km and then boy oh boy did I have a supersonic bonk. It was horrific. I have never suffered for 25 km like today. I managed to bum a half peanut butter sarmie on about 80 km but the damage was already done. The bottle of water was long gone. So I learned again today, eat on the bike, drink on the bike. It is worth it. I am now lying on the couch and am officially useless for the rest of the day. Tjokkits 1

LOOK695 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 You did pretty well to last 75km on only water Mads and Chro Mo 2
Jaco-fiets Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 You did well! If you were on the Low crab wagon you would still be riding on that bottle of water and peanut butter samie snack
RexFuzzle Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Banana usually does it for me- have it at about 50km- found that it works well. Usually have 2 bottles of water though. Don't believe in all this new fangled supplement stuff...

Don't believe in all this new fangled supplement stuff...Placebo effect... If you believe it will make you faster, it most certainly will.
