Just in from a road 50. Two cereal bars and a banana. Feel slightly tired and a bit hungry.
Not tried gel yet, cant really say it appeals to me. I mean, i’m not trying to win anything, even in sportives i just like taking part.
Did a 165 mile ride, as part of a 12 hour audax, many moons ago with not a clue about nutrition. Memories of raiding the spare food box at the halfway halt (in Crianlarich Youth Hostel) and stuffing biscuits down my throat at the Johnstone wheelers clubhouse knowing i still had 20 miles to ride home. Was too exhausted to notice when i bonked but i did make it home.
Know nowadays to eat regularly.
