Mine bring all the boys to the yard....

My preferred cycling fuel is 2 bags of crisps and 2 pints of beer. Salt , carbs fats and alcohol so that is a pretty non techy but balanced meal.

Speaking as one of CC’s 2 Food Scientists, I think we have a winner...hic....

Not being a great cake lover, I go for ham rolls and coffee. Near the end, a KitKat.

Cake in cycling parlance really just means stuffing your face (with anything) I thought?

You devil you...

Possibly. A long as it's not cake, I'm happy. I learned, long ago, that it's not a good idea for me to have a beer a few miles from the end of a 60 mile ride. My legs ceased to function and I didn't have a KitKat to pull a Cavendish-style finish out of the hat.

I usually bring a bar of Cadbury Fruit and Nut.

Keeping on the Lidl waffle tip I find a few of these will keep me going on a long ride, easy to stash in back pocket or saddle bag

Due to a wheat allergy normally assorted gluten free nut etc bars or equally expensive flapjacks, usually scoffed at hourly intervals.

Once bumped into a friend on a ride and he pulled a bag of boiled spuds out of his back pocket.

Whatever they sell at the shop/petrol station/bakers I stop at!

Seriously though, I don't (or didn't) fuel a ride of under around 50km. Just a couple of bidons of water was all I'd take. Above that, maybe a jam sandwich wrapped and put in my pocket, or maybe a flapjack if I'd made some. Stopping somewhere for a coffee and a casse-croute was an important part of my ride.

Normal 40 mile run is fueled by banana, oat cereal bar (Lidl), apple, tangerine.

And the coffee/brownie hit part way :-)

Fish and chips, first hour after is a little slow reducing food belly

"Eat Natural" nut bars are good. A mid ride bacon roll, ham egg and chips, or anything from Greggs. Malt based recovery drink on an evening ride

 

[yello]

"anything from Gregg's"..... my god, I think I'm in love
