Tin of rice pudding for me

Oats and banana

Porridge with loads of currents mmmmm

 

[HLaB]

We're all different but I like to have some cereal before a ride (preferably mini wheetabix nuts & raisins) and pasta the night before.

Porridge

 

[zigzag]

rolled oats porridge with dried berries (cranberries, blueberries, raisins) and a bit of butter, two-three bananas, drink of your choice.

Another vote for porridge, honey instead of sugar and perhaps add a little sliced banana in as well. Works for me

1.5 - 2h before the ride. if it's a audax i'd also have a muffin or a toast with jam and a cup of tea just before the start.

Thanks zigzag.

That's an impressive input. The athletic output is, no doubt, equally awesome.

So our plan to start each of our LEJoG days with a fry up isn't a good one?!!

Porridge and then scrambled eggs works wonders for me . I tend to ride within half and hour of eating.

I tend to eat light but eat something and depending what I'm doing (where the ride starts) my bowl of cereal will vary from 15 minutes to an hour before the ride. If the start is significantly far away I tend to top up with a cereal bar or banana 5-10 minutes before the start (sometimes I just do this anyway).
