What to eat while riding?

the peanut butter isn't a problem? sticking-to-the-back-of-your-throat-wise?

 

We called chokers and survivors.

Wet Droe Wors and sometimes biltong as well.

I also use one bottle of 32GI and a bottle of water for my long rides.

Banana bread not allowed in my house. I finish it from the time it enters the door till it gets placed on the kitchen counter

Speaking of eating on the bike, my laaitie ate dirt on our ride last night. Spectacular face plant. Lots of blood. He was really proud. He will wear the scars with pride.

Mr Christmas Tree and I have (on more than one occasion) stopped at KFC mid-ride for a twister meal.

 

The result...

 

...we felt like sloths on sleeping pills for the 2nd half of our ride.

Ah hectic. And if you ride hard enough, you eat it again during the ride

So the first half you're just like sloths then?

Somebody once made the suggestion to use Ensure if you battle to eat while fatigue and been using it since then for endurance and long events ! Works for me .

Add jam... and butter

 

Easier to eat than any commercial bar.

 

Eating on a bike does take a bit of planning on what the route is in front of you - eating when the peleton is about to go hard is not easy, and off road, upcoming technical sections and fast downhills are a problem - but SOMETIMES you have to eat - so chipmunk cheeks are useful - as is the technique of throwing away whatever is in your hand...

 

With proper prep - there is not much requirement to eat food unless the ride/race is going to be over 3 hours, and you can get away with just using carb based drinks with no performance degradation - the picture changes when riding/racing more than 3 hours, or when it is a multi day event - then you have to eat.

 

A casual 3 hour ride around the park does not classify as needing you to eat at all - riding at race pace for 3 hours or more does.

I agree with V12

 

Under 2 hours no need to eat

2 - 4 hours I will have a GU or 2

4 hours + more GU or whatever else is on offer, bearing in mind that liquid is better

 

PS: V12 did you fit them?
