Ride Fast, Eat Trash (Gas Station Nutrition)

I also like to eat trash, while riding. But unfortunately a carb is not really a carb :disappointed_relieved:

Glucose gets metabolised completely differerently than fructose. And Saccharose (as well as HFCS) is a mixture between the two, which first needs to be separated. But if one rides slow enough, one can eat anything.

This is a science-free thread kthxbai

Yesterday’s lunch mid ride. Brownie was to go.

Ah. The other famous Scottish drink. :sunglasses:

Does irn bru age like fine wine? Probably.

Oh heck yeah. Red Bull and PLAIN lays. I love hot stuff, but can’t have anything spicy mid-ride. Especially spicy powder, like on chips. That stuff ends up straight in the wind pipes.

Years ago at IM Texas I was joking with another spectator that you could tell which of WaG’s/ HaB’s had a run planned while their partner was on the bike because they were eating pop tarts while waiting for them to finish the swim. Ended up seeing most of them while out on my run (post pop tart obviously).

Also, unlike the other sourpatch kids, the watermelon ones are vegan. At least in the UK.

At least 600 calories worth of fresh baked bear claw.

When doing bikepacking races, A milkshake on day number 3 is magical. Take any and all hunger away.


Need a sugar boost
LOL :rofl:

:raising_hand_man:

OK, I’ll say it….Oreos are the most over-rated cookie in all of the kingdom.

Don’t @ me. :crazy_face:

I’d rather eat Nilla wafers. But one place I stop on long rides has fresh baked snickerdoodles and oatmeal raisin cookies the size of your head.

Yes, along with fresh baked bear claws, my gas station trash is bougie.

I’m @ing you!! I could eat an Oreo every day of my life and not get sick of them.

Blocked, reported and unfollowed.

:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I mean, I don’t mind them, but if I never have another one again in my life, I couldn’t care less. Just overrated, IMO. :man_shrugging:

Oreo-flavored things > actual Oreos. Put those things in some ice cream? Now we’re talking.

Oreo milkshakes!

Finally getting a handlebar bag in a couple of weeks from a really cool place (camelchopsgear.co.uk) and I’ll be able to really vary my options for garbage food on long rides.
