Cafe stop on a 100 mile Sunday ride. This seems to be the favourite at the moment.

What do you all eat on a longish ride?

 

[ianrauk]

Just real food. All day brekkie or such like, sometimes with a beer.

 

[Markymark]

Real food. I eat what I normally eat, just usually more in longer rides.

 

[Alan O]

Sausage butties usually, with an occasional Mars bar and jelly babies while actually on the move.

And occasionally a pub lunch.

 

[vickster]

Sandwich (e.g. Tuna, cheese, ham), cake/flapjack, latte, maybe some sweets. I can't eat big meals generally and although fond of chocolate, I find it too sickly and claggy if cycling

I'm not an egg fan, thought of having while cycling is

I really dislike "nutrition" products like gels and protein bars etc - I much prefer to fuel my body on real foods.

My favourite on a long ride is home made flapjack, and a banana on a shorter ride. If/when I stop for lunch I love a milkshake and something light to eat (a sandwich is fine but a pub meal would be too much). If I am cold on the ride then a bowl of soup is difficult to beat!

Wine gums are good. The black ones deliver double energy!

Crab meat sounds good.

Crab meat sounds good.

No it doesn't

Build in a lunch stop.

If not, mail loaf, flap jacks, banana. Energy drink or zero tabs or water or diluted fruit juice.

Leave the house either on an empty stomach or having had some toast, cereal bars and flapjack at the ready in my pocket. Something like a bacon sandwich, eggs on toast, etc at the stop. Normal dinner when I get home. Usually have a gel or two in my pocket if I start to flag, plus some jelly babies or something. I don't eat masses when I'm out on a ride.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Pork pies and oat bars mainly. But other stuff too.

This!!

Isn't it hard to get Swan when you're out of the city though?

 

[mangid]

100miles or so is a cereal bar and a couple of gels in case I feel I need more. 2 bottles of zero tab hydration stuff, typically only get thru one, I'm terrible at keeping myself hydrated.

Never stop.
