What foods do you crave whilst cycling

[johnnyb47]

Hi again.
I was just wondering what kind of food and drink do you crave whilst doing a seriously long bike ride. You may not crave for anything ,but personally after a good few miles in the saddle I start getting fixated with certain foods and drink. For me, I have an irresistible urge for chocolate milk shake and anything that contains oats.( mainly oat and raisin flapjacks)..:-) :-)

Mainly, breakfast beer at the end of it.

All day brekkie, cake and beer. In any order.

When I did my long commutes, on the return and running on empty, I used to get a craving for Mars bars and as I passed a sweet shop I often had to stop and buy one. Made the last 10 miles so much easier.

A fry up. I think of fry ups when i'm having a hard time out cycling,due to the rain,the knackering hills,the state of the road and so on, Yet i never have a fry up!

Snickers for me. Don't touch them any other time but if I've got a particularly hard ride coming up, or I'm in the middle of one, I'll reach for Snickers. They are a bugger to carry without melting though so I usually only carry them in winter.

Warm cuppa, followed by a fry-up with a cuppa.

On the bike, mars bars!

On really long rides, I often lose my appetite. I normally crave sleep and rest

Chips.

Very rarely get cravings on the bike but after a hard ride if I haven't eaten properly my body screams for sugar in any form.

 

[Lonestar]

No cravings unless I hit the bonk which is rare now.

In times like that it has been noted generally chocolate or sweets.

Pork pies, cheese and onion crisps, lobster thermidor, fry-up, beer.

Salty crisps, snickers, full fat coke
