Is that enough?[/quote'] Not even close. Try one 750 bottle of energy drink and one Gu per hour for a 70kg rider - and that's conservative. So work out how long you are gonna be riding and plan from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joobs Posted November 24, 2006 Share I am taking about 8 GU, 3 packets Jelly Babbies, 2 Energy Bars, 2 x bottles cytomax and 2 x bottles water, and a Cheese and Ham Sarmie. I will only eat the GU and jelly babies later in the race. Keep eating normal food for the first half. Seems to work for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVANC Posted November 24, 2006 Share If it doesn't fit into my back pocket or on the bike - I'm not taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted November 24, 2006 Share I have only done one DC, and that was enough for me, but I can say... Variety is good. After 8 hours I was in danger of puking blue Powerade over my shoes. Renew your childhood love affair with the PBJ sandwich. It's a good mix of high and low GI's, carbs, polyun fats and protein. As ever with an event, this is not a good time to try anything new, regardless of how much the blurb on the packaging promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - if you get hungry just park off at their backup car - there will be loads of food and drinks - they will be in no state to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh Fatty and Popeye - sounds like you guys are planning on having a picnic along the way - if I need some supplies, I might wave you down! I have 8 bottles, 5 gu's and 2 power bars - first stop is at 100kms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
