Did my first long (to me) ride this weekend. Diet was normal breakfast (poached eggs - from my own hens :biggrin: - on wholemeal toast), porridge made with water & topped with milk about an hour before the off, then Haribos en-route. Mid ride I had a small Snicker bar.
For fluids I drank about a bottle of water during the 30mile ride.
The Haribos helped a lot for a quick energy fix.

I'm liking this - could eat all of it apart from the eggs and snickers lol
I can have chicken, so cooked chicken on wholemeal, for the protein kick, would do me.
Haribos en route and some Soreen for my break snack.
Ooooh it's sounding like a picnic!

Ooooh it's sounding like a picnic!

Well the Sniker bar was eaten on the grassy verge in the middle of rural Suffolk, out in countryside in the sunshine so it felt a bit like a mini picnic.
And I did ride straight past a previous drinking haunt in the village nearby so felt fairly good about that.. (but TBH I rode past 'cos I was in my cycling gear and wouldn't have gone in wearing that!! :blush: )

These are my favourite for cycling, as ridiculous as I know they sound...

Sugary and juicy, and they aren't sticky like most sweets :smile:

Just back from shopping and these were on special offer so I thought I would try them. They are a bit moreish and after eating half the packet I am feeling a tad sick xx(

Yes, I can eat Soreen but not flapjacks.

hi try this very yummy and full of good stuff ..:hungry:
BRANFLAKE LOAF
More delicious than shop bought malt loaf and so easy to fling together
a child can do it. This must be one of the only cake mixtures that looks and tastes
pretty revolting in the bowl, but honestly, the end result is well worth the complete lack of effort...
Best sliced thinly and eaten with butter or jam.
1 mug of Kellogg's All-Bran
1 mug of either currants, mixed dried fruit or sultanas
1 mug of milk
1 mug of self-raising flour
A generous half-mug of caster or soft brown sugar
Method
1. Put everything except the flour in a large bowl and leave the mixture to stand for about an hour.
2. Grease and long-strip-line a standard size loaf tin and pre-heat the oven to approximately Gas Mark 3 (160 C)
3. Sift the flour into the soggy mixture, stir it in well and pour the whole lot into the loaf tin, spreading it evenly up to the sides.
4. Bake in a cool oven for about an hour and a half, until a skewer or sharp knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Just like my Auntie used to make. Cures irregularity.
