often spesh after a day of biking, like people above are saying after several hours of energy drinks etc the fat content helps the stomach and when you get the shakes or bonk you just need food NOW and McD or the like are quick

I've boycotted them every since they refused to serve me at the drive through because " you're on a bicycle" I only wanted a flipping milkshake, that was 1993, not been back since

+1 for KFC. If it's good enough for Usain Bolt...

Anyway wasn't there a thread on here recently from someone who 'bonked' just after eating a Mc-murder burger, wrong type of carbs etc?

I have, a few times. But then I'll also stop at BK, Greggs, pubs, cafes or whatever. I really don't know where all teh haterz get off on McDs - at least it's not frozen/re-heated pub food and shite beer.

We thought we were being naughty after last years MM slipping into the service station Mcdonalds on the way home.
The carpark was full of bike shop vans, manufacturers vans,team vans, and cars with bikes in and on!
Inside were queues of weary soles, I suspect more people succumb to the temptation of Maccy d's than they admit!
I don't think I've got to one mid ride. Managed a kebab about 2 miles from home though!

Only once in my life. I was on acid at 6 in the morning after an all nighter in the hills. Tried to eat something but whatever it was was such a writhing mess on the plate it looked like jabba the hut on speed, that and the staff, I freaked out. Never again.

I never get tempted to call at McDonalds any time, never mind while on a ride!

occasionally I will stop at the golden arches after a ride and stuff myself full of carbs and a bit of protein. As my diet is 90% clean and I have a fast metabolism I can get away with it.

What is there to get away with? Do they now only serve people who have 90% clean diets and fast metabolisms?
