Tristand Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Fruit cake, like the type Woolies sells is also brilliant. And it has an advantage over banana bread in that is less dry and far more compact. Hint: Nibble rather than downing big lumps. Your gut becomes a bit sensitive, especially if you are new to the sport and nibbling allows you to back off if you start to feel sick.
Zub Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 https://youtu.be/tQicUM2c3N4Hahaha brilliant. No need for layman explanation.
Zub Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Thick wedge slices Baked with moistness leftFoil No butter required if it’s made with loveSounds like you already have a winning recipe?
CAAD4 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Lekker small boiled potatoes with a touch of butter and salt, wrapped individually in foil.
Zub Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Lekker small boiled potatoes with a touch of butter and salt, wrapped individually in foil.With or without the skin? This just made me think of boiled eggs as an idea as well... Hmmm
CAAD4 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 With skin, keeps it real. Bolied eggs with a touch of salt are also lekker. I also like thinly sliced biltong occasionally. It works for me, but I'm no Dietitian...

Hamstring Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Real food and water or game, rehidrat sport in between, that's what iv done on this years epic and past J2c.
'Kaze Pete Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Short training ride (< 2 hours): waterLonger rides: game / water and gameUltra rides: real food, eg stop for chips / milkshakeRaces: ( A/B bunch or faster): Game in the bottles and a few (max 3) gel sachets The secret is that the training is mostly without carbs, and generally, except for some of the longer stuff, without eating beforehand
keithbe Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Welcome to the world of "trial and error". Nutrition, like deciding on the brand of bike to buy, is dependant on the individual.Get your ride nutrition wrong - you'll know it when you look for a spot to "ralph" or hit the "wall". Give all the opinions a go. The wierdest, strangest sounding one might be the best. Ever!
Dexter-morgan Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Recently I tried something different, I did not have anything for energy with the ride for sight and put some BCAA in my 1 bottle and I felt stronger for longer and no usual headache afterwards, maybe the clever guys can back this one or dismiss as my imagination.
Warrenlee Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Guys I need some advice. With Attakwas around the corner and me doing my first one, I did some research on the sponsor as I would like to do some training with their products, especially the drinks so that I can tuck in at the waterpoints. It also reduces the amount of stuff I need to carry with me on the bike. I did try one of their gels this weekend and not sure if it helped me. I have used the Hammer gels in the past. What are your guys thoughts on the Biogen drinks and gels?
Riaan H Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I have been competing on a combination of their Cytogen (carbs + electrolytes) and fruit gels + FarBars and have been very happy. I also use their pre-workout and plant based protein when I train.
Thornman Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 You can't go wrong with Powerbar. I have used a lot of products over the years, GU, FIT, Biogen, USN. Prefer powerbar, isoactive for training and then isomax for racing.
