You carry it with the bread-maker.

Spoken like a true Brummie. Most other Brits would go for the rice cooker instead.

I did a 100 miler (well 97.4) with only a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes and a banana before I set off. I had a pannini and a bit of cake at a cafe at about the halfway stage. It was at about 80 miles that I hit "the wall" and had to resort to my emergency food rations. This consisted of some Tesco trial mix. I immediately felt better. I can seriously recommend the trail mix, it is excellent: it is a mixture of brazil nuts, dried fruit & dried banana.

During the ride I drank approaching 6 litres of water and didn't have a waz all day long. Once I got home, I had a headache, felt sick and had no appetite. People on here told me the reason for all this is that my body had entered "Ketosis". Which basically meant that I had totally exhasted my carb / glycogen supplies and my body had started to convert fat to fatty acids and ketones and used that as an alternative fuel. So basically fat burning. I don't recommend going this far, as I felt bad for about 2 days.

Next time I do a 100 miler, I will have a bit more to eat before I set off.

According to Wikipedia (I know, I know, it's not 'entirely' accurate!) Ketosis either is or isn't a good state to get your body in. Adherents of the Atkins diet will know that it is the state you live in whilst on said plan, trouble is you smell permanently of urine!
