Looking for a bit of advice regarding food before and event.

I'm raising money for MacMillan Cancer suppor this coming weekend by completing a 100K cycle ride. I've flashed the sponsorship form around the office, so thats taken care of, unless you want to go to the MacMillan site and donate.

What I was wondering, is what to eat the night before the ride. I can't cycle on food in the morning and I usually skip breakfast anyway. So I'd like suggestions for what to eat for dinner the night before. Also, while I'm here, what food might I consider taking with me on the ride ?.

Current favourite is steak and chips for dinner, Saturday evening.
Possibly pitted dates for during the ride ?.

Cheers.
🙂

pasta night before - followed by big chocolate desert of some kind . . .

porridge or pancakes in the morning...

during the ride, maybe some jam sandwiches, a cashew nut/raisin mix, energy bar/gels, sweeties

Whole wheat pasta - slower release of energy. Be careful with dates they can cause a need to evacuate...

He seems quite OK with it, doesn't like being crucified on a full stomach apparently...

I wasn't planning on it and there certainly wasn't any mention of crucification in the MacMillan literiture.

What tyres, gloves and shoes for Crucifiction ?

Oh and a 100k isn't too bad. You will survive! Do try and have a light breakfast though - it will help!

I'd have thought them to be invaluable, you know, for when you are eventually removed from the cross. Afterall, think of the next user.
