Racing roadkill
Guru
Does it matter, whether you have a coffee and cake, before the ride, during the ride, or after the ride?
DittoHave coffee and cake, before the ride during the ride and after the ride.
That way you have got it all covered.
Or Jelly babies (I've just picked up a bag for a quid at Co-op).Proper cyclists would only consume gel and energy drinks during the ride.
I love coffee and I love cake but I hate stopping so before or after only for me.
I'm similar in that I like to have somewhere to go even if it's just a nice pub (although I used to travel 30 or so miles to get to a pub 5 miles from home)That's another peculiarity of cycling, I can't enjoy a ride, if I don't stop and have a wander around en-route. I know loads of cyclist people who really hate stopping.
