Stand up... What have you taken to improve your cycling?

[Deleted member 1258]

I've taken to eating porridge in the morning, plus beans on toast and coffee at mid ride cafe stops, to enhance my carbohydrate levels.

I scrape the white powder off jelly babies and save it.

When I have enough I snort it.

It's transformed my rides.

I worked in a jelly baby factory up in Sheffield. My advice is stop immediately.

On advice, porridge. It worked. Did wonders for my endurance. I was amazed. Not funny, but true.

What haven't I tried?
Chips. Cake. Bacon. Flapjack. Tea. Coffee. Malt loaf, the list goes on...
On my one and only FNRttC I had a chocolate croissant, chocolate cake and a giant cappuccino with 2 extra shots and 6 (!!) sugars, and I still wished I was dead half-way up Ditchling.
The best was cycling back from a pub after 6 pints of Marstons Pedigree
The only thing that makes me faster is a gigantic tailwind or a huge wodge of gravity aka going down big hills.

Dear friends, family, teammates, fans, sponsors, and creditors:
In the wake of recent events in the world of cycling, I can no longer hide my past. I admit to doping with EPO, blood transfusions, cortisone, testosterone, Clenbuterol, Actovegin, and rhinoceros horn. I did not want to use these products but I felt I had to in order to keep up.I took these products between 2002 and 2012.
I deeply regret, feel ashamed of, and am truly sorry for my actions and I hope that my confession can help bring positive change to the sport that we all love so much.
Sincerely,
Davehateshills

Yes, but you didn't start cycling until july '12. What were you keeping up with? Eh?

Ok, full confession........ I had to change my name!

Damn, I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

I ate a fly once, it did nothing to enhance my cycling. I can't imagine what the fly got from the experience.

Maple syrup & espresso.

I see you're from Canada. I used to be from New Hampshire many years ago - I grew up there. It used to be maple sugar for me, my ride enhancer before heading off on long exploratory bike rides instead if going to school.

 

[Drago]

I snort a line of Nescafé before my morning commute.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I mainline shortbread.

 

[summerdays]

Chocolate - lots and lots of it! (Not completely convinced it helps, but I'm still in the middle of my research )!

Well thats two of us then..
