Ivanb Posted December 6, 2006 Share I would suggest simple foods that are easy to digest. Breadrolls, Evox enegy bars. It is suggested:sub 1 hour, electrolytes1 -2 2hrs carbo drinks and gels3hr plus carbodrinks gels and solid food. There is great book by Chris Carmicheal, Food for fitness Its excellent and tells you all you need to know. Carol Austin has it www.activeworx.co.za or at amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackz Posted December 6, 2006 Share Voor die ride:- drink jou bottel Energade/Carbo op vandat jy opstaan tot voor jy opry wegspring toe- eet 'n breakfast bar tipe ding in die halfuur of so terwyl jy by die wegspring wag Tydens die ride kan jy maar "normaal" eet & drink.- vat maar jou gels & energy bars soos gewoonlik, jy drink hulle tog nie aanhoudend nie- vat iets souterigs soos stukkies droewors om die eentoonigheid te breek- drink carbo drinks & water (dit kan BAIE warm raak op plekke)- rosyntjies & jelly babies Na die tyd:- recovery drink so gou moontlik (hoog in carbo & protein)- Wimpy burger en groot milkshake vir lunch- Spur steak en groot milkshake vir aandete Bel my as jy meer wil weet.

amoryns Posted December 6, 2006 Share Trackz.....ek het gedink aan nie-gesoute peanuts? sal dit werk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted December 6, 2006 Share Last year we ate either a gel or energy bar every hour (mixed Jungle ones with PVM ones so as not to get to monotonous). At the watering points had a banana/piece of chocolate just for variety. Took some jelly babies and ate them now and then just for sommer!Took 1.5 liters of FIT Carbo Supreme and then filled up with Powerade at the last watering point each day. This made sure we had enough to drink till the finish and also gave some variety cause even FIT can get a bit much after a while. Also ate a free 'Chelsea bun' at the finish! Used a recovery drink immediately after finishing (FIT Dura Train in our case). My opinion is to make sure that you start eating relatively early and have a routine of eating something regularly throughout the ride. Helps not to suddenly run out of energy just cause you weren't hungry the first hour or 2! I have it on good authority that there will be watermelon available at the watering points. If the weather is hot it's the best refresher! Does it help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoryns Posted December 6, 2006 Share die bioplus is nie goeie ding nie trackz...my jongste sussie het daardie goed met die ofm gedrink....die volgende dag was sy so flou dat sy nie haar oe kon oophou nie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackz Posted December 6, 2006 Share Self nog nie eintlik peanuts probeer nie ... try dit en laat weet hoe dit gaan. Persoonlik is ek te bang vir 'n peanutp**p op die presiese oomblik dat 'n cute camoqueen verbykom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichH Posted December 6, 2006 Share amoryns, check out http://forums.mtbr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63 It's the endurance forum at MTBreview, some good info, if you can get past the overseas product names. P.S. Good luck at Sabie Experience! Wish I was riding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackz Posted December 6, 2006 Share .... kan nie dink dat Bioplus dit kan doen nie - dis maar net goedkoop Red Bull - werk vinnig uit jou stelsel uit Ek hou dit maar vir 'n noodgeval - normaalweg en op Sabie behoort 'n GU jou in elk geval weer vinnig (10-15min) reg te kry as jou energie laagloop - jy behoort nie Bioplus nodig te he nie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted December 6, 2006 Share It depends - some people can't eat at all on the bike. The real trick is to make sure that you eat enough when you are off the bike to replace all the energy spent. Limit your losses on the bike with energy drinks and gu's, and other things (peanuts/dried fruit, jungle oats bars, muffins, potatos - whatever does it for you), and focus on taking in enough food as soon as possible after finishing...

Psycho Posted December 6, 2006 Share Amoryns..... die peanuts is lekker as mens laaaaaank en ver ry, ons het dit by TransBaviaans geeet, maak vir n goeie breek in die soet smaak van die gels en goed. Eet genoeg voor die tyd maar sorg dat jy n bar of twee saam vat, moenie snaakse goed vat wat jy nie ken nie. Ekt laas jaar op FastFuel bars gery en dan ook maar die gels. Die bars het goed gewerk. Daar was ook piesangs by die waterpunte gewees, en ek en nameless het maar ons kwota volgemaak dit help nogal, maar is sheet sleg as jy hom saam gery het. n Appel werk ook goed, en die natuurlikke suiker is altyd goed. Woolworths verkoop baie lekker rich cherry cake, Whoooohooooo man is dit lekker, is ook maar bietjie soet maar nie so erg soos gels en so..... sny dit in stukkies en draai in foelie toe. Eintlikke ding is regte x-mas koek, maar ek weet nie of die brandewyn so goed gaan af gaan met jou nie dink nie jy kry dit met vlou oros nie As jy meer inligting soek pm my maar, ons kan reel Bikewash en all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
