Which energy drink can back up very well?

[David_Wozniak]

Ok Mr. Apple.

 

You should be able ride up to 1.5 hours on water only. On road up to 100km at training pace just on a sugary drink of whatever flavour / type you prefer..

 

Longer than 3 hours, you might need more substance. Even an energy gel.

 

However if you are looking for a home made concoction (I'm sure this is same same as the previous mention of 'stuff from the pharmacy') search for Asker Jeukendrup and his home-made concoction.

 

A thread on just that, right here on bikehub

Home made concoction is the best i think, Thanks

Oros... Jungle yum.... Whatever your poison... Take some biltong or dry wors and a gel for just in case

I am a newbie riders and I have bought a MTB last month for downhill ride. at the fast time I go for a 3 km trips and I have to cross many small hill. But i found that my legs are limbs and my energy level down very soon. I have bring a local fruit drink with me, but I think that not working well. So which energy drink i should take when go out for a long distance and difficult road on my bike?

 

Let me what drink you usually use or prefer.

I would suggest you ride slower... riding to fast will make you tired quickly.

Pace yourself.....

Short rides less than 2 hrs you can just drink water....
