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

[asterix]

Coke.

I thought it would help, but in effect it was too gassy and gave me wind! Back to plain old water now.

I also used to take my brothers bike because it was better than mine.

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

The only known remedy for this is to swallow a spider IIRC.

In 1985 dropped a Blue Pyramid and rode around all night in two inches of snow on the putting greens of Wimbledon Common golf course. It didnt enhance my performance but i had a jolly nice time.

Flat coke mixed with water .... Tastes like sh#t and didn't help on the hills,flats or anywhere else!

EDIT: I didn't see Mr Paul's message above as my iPad is going all strange again, sorry.

The only known remedy for this is to swallow a spider IIRC.

...and the only known remedy for this is to swallow a bird, how absurd!

Good Morning Burl Ives.

Wiggo has made a hige contribution, (by being knocked off last night).

I take D Ribose before and after long rides and am on a thing called Co Enzyme Q10 (both due to a long standing muscle problem. Co enzyme helps with energy supply to muscles and D ribose aids recovery). Seems to keep me on top of things apart from the occasional bout of pain that leaves me grounded.
Other than that, the occasional strong lager on the way home from the pub!

FNRttC:

My pre-ride preparation is a couple of pints of Discovery, and I keep a hipflask of whisky with me at all times.

 

[marafi]

Need to start cycling again hopefully this weekend. Also learn a new tricks in fixing a bike! Its useful!!

 

[tyred]

Guinness and Woodbine.

 

[Over The Hill]

I have been known to pick up my pace a bit when something like this goes past.

Problem was I ended up in Winchester when I was going to Reading!


A Red Bull at 90 miles into a 100er gets you home.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Vast amounts of caffiene, the odd hit of day nurse, buttercup syrup, steroids from inhalers, glucosamine sulphate, cod liver oil, and multi-vitamin.


Oh, and porridge, vast streaming vats of it.

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.

My family has a maple syrup farm. Constant supply.
