[Closed] What food does everyone take on a ride?

Whisky and tangfastics, tip top trail sustanance

Sandwiches / choco - in fact a full on picnic

Flapjacks calories to weight ratio is HUGE
Trail mix of seeds,dried fruit, nuts and chocolate chips
A meal(sandwich, pasta mix, couscous and chilli) if 4 hours +

bananas and apples plus granola bars in varying flavours, apple flavour is my fav.

70% cocoa dark chocolate from Waitrose. A big chunk at the bottom of a hill and its like rocket fuel.

Some sort of sandwich/pizza/pasta/pitta/wrap, malt loaf (cut in half lengthways and buttered), bananas, sainsbury's fizzy strawberry straws (for those hits of sugar when needed) and sometimes flapjacks. Probably not the ideal but keeps me happy 😀

Rowntrees fizzy fruits. A wrap or a bagel or two. Some sort of cake in the car. Fruit for healthiness.

Nanas as rocket fuel, malt loaf for when I feel hungry, High5 bars for when I feel tired. Car windows open on the way home 😳

Bananas! Those, fruit cake and the really cheap waitrose(sp?) flapjacks that make your teeth feel funny from the amount of sugar in them!

I usually have a bag of dried fruit in the bottom of my bag, living there (literally) 'just in case'. The currant 😉 one was opened in earnest about a fortnight ago when bonk set in. It had got damp and fermented. Boozy apricots- fantastic!

Jam doughnuts and a triple chocolate muffin :o)

Sandwiches, cereal bars, dried apricots and some sweets

A mate used to carry 'emergency rations' in his sea kayak. Pedigree Chum!- he reasoned that a Mars bar or two would get scoffed anyway so wouldn't be there when he REALLY needed it, so the dog food was so objectionable that it would only be eaten [i]in extremis[/i]!

Pedigree Chum!

soon to be Pedigree chunks as you hurl 🙁

pan pagnat hummmmmmm

pedigree chum = fray bentos

lol @ bomberman, I'll tell David next time I see him.

Malt loaf, nature valley granola bars and banananananas.

You mean they do granola bars in different flavours?

hahhha bomberman.... pedigree chum indeed... what breed are you then..a ruddy whippet. quick as lightening..eh ? lol

i take ham sandwhiches , boiled egg , the odd mars bar, banannas and id like to take my whippet with me ...stick him in the top of my rucksack...he wud love it im sure, the wind rushing through his ears ..., singing to me as we bomb through whinatter... (he does sing..he,s talented you know..

it depends but most the time i have a malt loaf in my bag and wine gums 🙂

I've taken WillowDog on a few rides recently in the Beacons. She ignores the sheep now. Rides just to the front left or front right of me. Brilliant. But she's not trail food. I carry a faggot or a pork pie for her, as well as my alcoholic apricots for me.

Marathon (Snicker to you youngsters), it's not chocolate its an energy bar.

Soreen. Tesco nutribar ripoffs

Wine gums

pukka pies. Food of champions

Peanut butter & chocolate spread sarnies!

And as much else as it's physically possible to carry...

LOL @ ruddy whippet. more like a cocker spaniel

A rare beef ciabatta with horseradish and watercress is a lovely ride snack

fig rolls

Of course it all depends on how long the ride is. I usually have first breakfast before setting off but on an all day ride I need:
Second breakfast
Elevenses
First lunch
Second lunch
Mid afternoon snack
and If its a real long day
Afternoon tea
Dinner
and supper. got to do the carb loading thing.

Next enduro race I enter I shall stop for a picnic halfway round a lap

As above, depends on the ride. A quick 40-50 mile sprint and I won't bother. Anything more than that and I'll usually take sweets for a boost and maybe bananas for a serious ride.

I always take a banana, don't always eat it though.

Also Go bars but nearly out of these and will revert to flap jacks.

Longer rides depends on what likely food stops are available en-route.

Zipvit Energy Bar
Zipvit blackcurrent gel
Fabulous Baking Boys flapjack (2)

Protein Shake for car ride back home.

asda's organic granola bars. chewy without being to hard and full of the right stuff.

even better because they only cost 99p for 5 bars.

fave tea stops on longer rides for cake and hot choccy
