What do you eat before a ride?

[Wayne Potgieter]

Hi Guys.

 

 

 

Was wondering what you all eat before a major ride?

 

 

 

ie, The night before or the morning of a big ride.

 

 

 

Thanks

The night before nothing different then usual, just maybe a bit more. The morning before, cereal and coffee.

Any particular reason? i mean is it a high energy meal or something?

Not strict about it, but ususally pasta the night before and bowl of oats and 2 slices of whole wheat toast with jam for breakfast.

Whatever's going the night before, but i try and make sure it's got lots of carbs.

 

I normally have raw oats and milk 2 to 3 hours before the race, and then 2 peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches about 30 minutes before the start.

night before i dont care

mornig of the race i forcefeed myself some oats - theres only one thing worse than trying to eat breakfast that early, and that's getting up even earlier .... coffee seems to help
