Yeah, I have started to do this with reminders. I’m generally pretty good with consuming each hour on the bike. At the moment, though, it is a question of what to consume …
Before having to change my diet around, I would always just pull banana’s, gels and Cliff bars out and that seemed to work well with sustaining me for the 160-200km rides at a fairly high intensity and speed. Unfortunately, that is all out the window now so I have to come up with foods that I can consume on the bike to sustain me.
Finding it rather difficult … even at the café stops now there is very few options for me to consume without actually knowing every single ingredient. Very frustrating! As silly as this sounds, I’ve even toyed with the idea of bringing hard boiled eggs in my jersey pocket to have at the café so that I can at least consume something substantial whilst sitting down.
