Snails Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Or his recovery drink can be a Heineken.After he has drunk his bottle of water for the ride.Kinda like a reward for the effort. Having not been able to go as long or hard during the actual exercise, and not recovering as quickly afterwards. If he'd like to do that, then of course there's no issue, but he enquired about improving his performance on the bike.
Wayne Potgieter Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Bwaaa haaa haaa...this thread is going to keep me very entertained.
Wez-O Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Hi I'm a budget rider. When mtbing and around the 20 km area I start to lose power and start to slow down.. How can I keep the power up? What should I be drinking and what are good snacks.. ThanksBananas!!! Cheap and a fast yet good form of energy.
Grebel Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Just ride more. It will come..... You need to build up to the longer distances. When I started I barely made it out the driveway. I realise that this advice might actually make sense but it is still early and Friday is only tomorrow........
Vetseun Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Bananas!!! Cheap and a fast yet good form of energy.Banana, half a peanut butter sarmie and sweat in your eyes. Perfect cycling combo
Grebel Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Banana, half a peanut butter sarmie and sweat in your eyes. Perfect cycling combo You need Energade to wash it down.....
Wez-O Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 You need Energade to wash it down.....I saw an advert and apparently wish Energade you basically don't even need to train! Just hop on the bike, drink and race!!!
porqui Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 To OP Do you have a good breakfast How far do you ride when you ride How often do you ride. For anything under a 2hr ride at a budget pace you only need some water.Have a Sterrie Stumpie or two after your ride The key is the 3P's or PPP Practice - practice - practice
Wez-O Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Solid advice this. You have just freed up my weekends with stupid training. Glad to be of assistance!
Long Wheel Base Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I saw an advert and apparently wish Energade you basically don't even need to train! Just hop on the bike, drink and race!!!Hmm maybe there is something else in that energade. If I had known this I wouldn't get up at 0400 every morning to train my backside off. Id rely on energade and rest.....

You have just freed up my weekends with stupid training. Brilliant! I'm cancelling that early morning alarm and staying up later to catch up on all the series of Oprah I downloaded last week

Long Wheel Base Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Energade and rum! What you haven't tried it?I only tried it with the tropical flavour and it was a bit too sweet for me. Had to wash it down with a gel and water at the 5km mark of my last race.
