Following recent Soreen and Tunnocks based threads:
What food do you scoff when out on the bike that isn't sold as fancy pants sports nutrition?
Flat coke and jelly babies for me!
Frusili bars, dried apricots, peanut m&ms
Fig rolls, jelly babies, fruit
Fish supper 😮
Pies.
Fish and Chips.
Beans on toast.
Chorley Cakes.
All the major food groups really.
Peanut butter and chocolate spread on toast sandwich. Bangin.
Marmite and marge bagel
I tried Nature Valley bars the other day, mistake! Was expecting 'em to be squishy but they're very dry.
Banana and jam or banana and peanut butter on wholemeal bread
Jam on toast or porrigde in the morning, dried fruit mix from lidl plus banana while out in the woods.
Hot cross buns. Only on Good Friday though.
Nakd gingerbread bar
Peanut butter and marmite sandwiches
On my 65 mile MTB ride today, I ate a cheese and avocado sandwich, and some bananas.
Kerazy I know....
DrP
Scotch Eggs & Spring Rolls
Fig rolls, cheese and jam sandwiches, Kendal mint cake are the norm for me.
Also had a good tip off an old seasoned roadie with regards to a quick pick me up.
"Tha doesn't want those new fangled gels lad. Cubes of rowntrees jelly are just as good"
flapjack and jelly babies
Dates, pecans and naked ginger.
Haribo gold bears and Irn Bru. Also the occasional sugar sandwich for a treat.
Grated carrot and humous rolls. Maybe with a bit of bacon.
At team 24 hour races I'm like the Duracell bunny if I'm on the Weetabix.
Admittedly it is very easy to drop the spoon when eating them on 'normal' rides out.
Pork Powerbar otherwise known as the large Sausage Roll, pasties are ace too. Something you can eat without guilt after riding for a couple hours and also ideal when you stomach rebels against something sugary.
I just eat "food" - weird eh?............ anything under 4hrs i don't bother eating but if i'm out for longer then whatever shop i find that is open will have something to eat if i feel the need, I stay in Galloway so there's not many shops where i ride anyway, considering i'm probably carrying a few extra kg that i could do to lose i'd prefer my body to burn fat as fuel - then again i don't care a fig how fast i ride these days so if my average speed drops due to the bonk i couldn't care less - i'll get back home eventually.
Ham sarnies usually
I've been experimenting with food from your average French supermarket.
The little packets of breakfast biscuits are good but a bit fragile.
Baugette and Nutella is ok but a bit dry.
Absolute winner is baugette and Bonne Maman "Confiture de Chataigne" (Chestnut jam)!
Mini cheddars ,oat cakes & kiwi fruit.
Jamaica ginger cake
A couple of the lads who I ride with have started started stopping at the bacon butty van and having bacon, sausage and egg in a tray minus bread, one guy actually bucked up from a serious bonk and then led the ride for the remaining 20 mile, I normally suffice with a handful of raisins, nuts and some dried figs.
Dried bananas, chocolate, nuts
last time I was at Afan with a friend we had a picnic of saucisson and nice cheese with us. The baguette sticking out of my camelbak above my head got some funny looks and you had to watch out for low branches 😀
Just done an 80m road ride powered by two macaroni pies. I'd normally have cheese and onion pasties 😛
I just have whatever in the cupboard/fridge seems convenient. Tangfastics are good for a quick bit of energy though! Oh and brownies or millionaire shortbread 🙂
Bacon, Brie, and Mango Chutney, in a crunchy baguette 🙂
+1 For Macaroni Cheese pies
Cous cous
Coconut Macaroons
Last nights leftover pizza
Pork pie
Flapjack
Tangfastics
When in the uk, bacon Brie, avocado cucumber and lettuce ciabatta.
When in France, charcuterie du jour, mozzarella and Edam slices, celeriac remoulade in a baguette
When in whistler, breakfast burritos. Time of day irrelevant.
When anywhere, beer.
