Could it be the egg mayonnaise?

[gavroche]

I went for a short ride , 18 miles, today after eating an egg mayonnaise sandwich and felt great. I had plenty of power and could go up hills on a bigger gear than I usually do. I even overtook a tractor going along, so I am wondering if egg mayo is good for cycling? What is your favourite food before a ride, and I don't mean a morning ride after breakfast but an afternoon ride?

The ponces of this world like @threebikesmcginty who dislikes Mayo and prefers the sickly sweet taste of Salad Cream against a background of Hank Williams music only pretend to cycle. Yet myself who is a self proclaimed cycling God will only have Mayo. After a sarnie filled with Mayo I can ride like a demon whilst of course listening to the sounds of Slayer. 3BM can't. ergo - Mayo is much better for cycling for you then salad cream and Slayer is much better then Hank Williams.

May your days be filled with nodding cyclist whinges for that. Eggs need salad cream. Mayo is for losers.

Given the properties of eggs on the digestion system, maybe your effort was wind assisted?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Salad cream is the devil's ***** too. And Slayer are generic metalw*nk. Plus I occasionally ride a bike if it's no more than 200 yards to where I want to go.

What is your favourite food before a ride

Bacon, sausage, black and white puddings, tattie scones, fried egg, mushrooms and toast.
I know you said an afternoon ride, and that's kind of a breakfasty plate, but it's just as good at lunchtime. That'll fuel you for about a day.
