Hi,
Sunday morning (tomorrow [;)]) is my best time for doing a long steady state bike. I get 2-3 hard bikes in during the week.
My question is I normally like to get up and go so what would be good to eat before I take off. I always bring lucozade sport in my bottle and a nutri grain bar for mid way through. What else wud u suggest?
Thanks,
Paul.

Just looked at the weather and it looks perfect, cant wait!!
Cook some baked potatoes tonight, get up and eat one.
And take a few more in your bike pokets, and much as you go,
Best thing to keep you going.
honest, dont knock it till you tried it.
How long before you set off do you eat your muesli. I am not a fan or muesli so I will stick to my porridge or Oatibix.

General rule of thumb with eating and then performing moderately hard effort running, cycling and swiming is 60-90min before. If your ride is a long gentle effort then you could probably cycle very soon after your meal.
i never use sports drink. only water.i can do about 150k on this no problems.
do many other people go with food and no sports drink?
r u serouz?
haha.
Id take several grain bars (like nutrigrain, but id advise something from www.myprotien.com so you can avoid nasty weak sugars). Also take a Yorkie.
Personally, I like the bike shot things, though I'm concerned the caffine in them made me want to pee on my post bike run yesterday! I may try some of the other sweetie type things reviewed in 220 this month.
