...re the food thread....how on earth do you guys carry all this stuff whilst your cycling? fig rolls, sandwiches, jam, haribo, breakfast bars, electrolyte drink, water, lucozade, flapjacks, pasta etc....do you have you mrs drive behind you passing food into your mouths as your cycling along at 20 mph???....

bottles in bottle cages - food in back pockets

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Cycling jerseys have 3 pockets which are massively expansive?

On the charity ride I did yesterday my pockets and saddle pack were crammed when I started off. On a normal club ride there's a café stop in the middle so I don't carry any food, yesterday there was no planned stop so I was carrying food, a cereal bar, several pieces of malt loaf and a banana, so my glasses had to go in the saddle pack to make room for the food.

I sometimes take a small back pack. Only if i'm going 30 miles plus though.

It's in:

2 water bottles in their cages
A Topeak tri bag for events such as sportives; http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11335
Rear pocket for other rides, plus cash/phone in the other pocket(s)

For a tour I've got a bar bag, plus rear rack with rack bag or panniers

Don't put chocolate in your bra.

Don't put chocolate in your bra.

Tried, collects in your navel and pops out like a freshly created Hershey's Kiss.

I wouldn't carry food for any ride less than 60 miles and for rides up to 45 miles I find 1 750ml bottle sufficient.

30-50 a snickers and 500-750 water especially in hot weather
Longer than that, maye extra grub, 2-bottles and a banana

Oh, front door key, a fiver, debit card and mobile - the latter in cling-film.
