cheaper ways to keep fuelled on the bike

Shop brand fig rolls for me. If I'm feeling flush...indulge in Scotts oatie bars

What's the advantage of Maltodextrin?

It is absorbed and used more easily and is a longer lasting source of energy than sugars, apparently. I certainly find it excellent although being pure carbohydrate it does make me a bit "windy" for a couple of hours after a ride.

So it has the added advantage of afterburners too! I'm off to superdrug to look for some of this stuff

Some good tips here.

Cant wait to try the fig rolls idea.

Not had them in years but love them, and now I have a fantastic excuse to eat some!
