I'm going straight from work to our start point, in no particular rush, and need to squeeze some tea in, so beans on toast are out unless i buy a camping stove and some form of toasting device

I reckon a kebab would be alright. I apoligise in advance to anyone downwind of me later

Add peas for the Meal Of Champions. Eat at lunchtime, then have your normal lunchtime sarnies for tea before your ride

1 tin of Branston beans, 3 slices of wholemeal toast and a healthy grating of cheddar.

anything fatty would probably be a bad idea. If you don't fancy flapjack or fruit get a chicken sandwich or something.

The key is to eat big at lunchtime and then grab a sarnie or flapjack an hour or two before the ride. If you go for the kebab make sure you post a pic of the vom puddle ๐Ÿ™‚

A chicken kebab with salad isn't really unhealthy at all (as long as it's cooked properly!) - it's just when you add loads of bread, garlic sauce etc

Small glass of electrolyte drink and a banana. Eat carb rich meal at least 4 hours before.

Banana sandwich pre-ride, kendal mint cake in the back pocket mid-ride. Try not to look at my fitness pal when entering the calories. Enjoy the ride!

cup of sweet milky tea and a pepperoni pizza? Yeah tbh my stomach did cramp a bit, but yesterdays ride was quite a bit more intense than our usual tuesday night ride. Besides everyone knows pre-ride preparation is much more important that post ride refuelling ๐Ÿ™‚

My evening rides are always straight from work so I make sure I have a proper meal lunch time and a few flapjacks for while I'm riding.

Thought is was easier / on a par tbh...i still find MTB much harder than road riding even after the "conversion" years.
