Hello cycling people
I haven't been on here for ages but I received loads of good help last year, when I started cycling for the first time since I was ten or something.
Am going out three times per week, between one hour and two and a half at present. Building up to some 30/40 milers in the next couple of months, then the Great North Bike Ride in August. Then continuing to do the Coast to Coast, possibly in Sept but if not definitely next year.
Now I'm passing the two hour ride again I'm thinking of fluid. I've only taken water so far but my cycling colleague (as amateur and new as I am) is drinking something called Gator Raid (?) and says it helped him massively last year on a 60 miler.
I got some tablets last year after doing the GNBR. I've tried them the last two times. They're called ZEROHIGH5 and go on about burning 41 % more fat. I'm more bothered about taking something that makes me go a bit further and I don't know if they do that.
Any idea on what would be helpful? I do like the idea of tablets as you can just pop them into water which is obviously much easier to get than owt else.
Any help greatly appreciate - Richard
