I did the Southeast Gravel Battle of Sumter Forest on Saturday and I stopped to get gas on the way down.

There was a woman cooking biscuits in the back and I had an amazing Country Fried Steak Biscuit with a Mango Juice Monster and it was perfect as a pre-race fueling.

Just love the ‘nothing to see here’ style of this :joy:

Amazing haha. Do you think they let him put it on the corporate card?

Hell yeah, Twizzlers rule.

Not quite lol. However, I’d like to be referred to as a garbage eating animal from now on.

Well Chat GPT can be off. I’ll carry on eating junk and being happy to do so.

I’m currently watching “Dark” on Netflix and have learned that Twix used to be called “Raider” in parts of Europe. I would way rather “fuel” with RAIDER than with Twix.

I think that was one of the slogans back in the 80s :+1:

For a long, low intensity ride gas station fried chicken strips are awesome

For quick sugar, fig newtons, hostess fruit pie

anything chocolate and caramel like the milky way caramel

Worst thing I did was an ice cream on a hot day. Stomach wasn’t processing the dairy well

“Live fast, eat trash socks”

Not sure I ever want to reach the point where I’d consider eating socks… :rofl:

Also that sounds like a warning. Eat trash, and live fast…

Hey folks.

What’s your favorite gas-station option for hydration? Not the flavor (because lime+cucumber is obviously the only one that humanity really needs), but brand/type of the drink you would typically grab from a fridge in such occasion. Potential situations to consider:

  • Low carb / high electrolytes (not that stupid if you still have enough gels in your snack-box);
  • Low electrolytes / high carb (I normally carry extra LMNT on me just in case, and gels go at much faster rate);
  • or “full hydration mix” if you’re out of anything.

Context: went for a quick mid-day ride with two bottles of tailwind drink-mix, it was extremely hot, but at the same time I felt good so I ended up restocking at jug’n’loaf (US) to keep going. Grabbed two chugs of regular gatorade (had some gels, so didn’t care much about carbs in a bottle). What I’ve found out is that gatorade doesn’t help much with the thirst (if not makes it even worse…) in such heat (30+C/90+F). And I was stupid enough not to take any LMNT with me today. Hence asking what works for you.

Thanks.
