I'm with Ton on this one. I have an important notice on my frame to keep reminding me to stop and fuel up with my performance-enhancing pastry products.

Given this new information, a meat and potato pie is now basically an energy gel, right? ๐Ÿ˜€

Here's another non-technical article about it, basically, just eating candy is the simplest thing:

I find a bag of jelly babies from Tesco* does the job, at the rate of 3 bags per 200km. A Snickers bar for a rest stop if I need it.

If I'm travelling at a rate where I can't chew them I know it's too fast and I'll burn out, but I'm not a finely honed athlete like many on here.

If that can get a somewhat decrepit fossil around that distance in Wester Ross on a singlespeed, it's got to have some merits for ordinary mortals. ๐Ÿ™‚

The days gets finished with a plate of boiled baby potatoes slathered in butter and green pesto and I'm good to do the same the next day.

*Tesco, because other brands are too delicious and rate of consumption is higher.

Just joined this topic because of an interesting title. So, now, I know much more about potatoes...

Just remembered that thread where I calculated the carbon footprint of cycling was actually (a surprisingly high) 1/2 that of driving if fueled by potatoes!

Smash is ace for thickening sauces and gravy, btw. Really nice savoury flavour.
