[AuctionLamb]

What food do you guys take on you that is doing the DC? I have about 3 GU's, packet of Jelly Tot's and 2 POWERBARS. Is that enough?

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.

Let me think...7 bottles (I don't drink a lot), 5 powerbar Gu's, 2 bowerbar bars, 5 JungleOats bars, and getting dry wors later as well...planning to be out there for around 6hrs I hope...

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

If it doesn't fit into my back pocket or on the bike - I'm not taking it.

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.

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.

not a bad idea......nice to have a little buffet on a Saturday morning while doing a long ride......

CVANC only needs half a bottle of water...

 

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.
