food for thought...

Hi Guys,

I have a planned sky ride on Sunday which is give or take 12 miles, but i am going to cycle there and back, which will take my total miles for the day upto the 40 mile mark.

I am planning to go at a reasonable pace till i get to the start point, and no doubt with it being sky ride it will be slower than what i am used to, and also includes a stop off half way through the 12 miles at a cafe.

Do i need to bother taking anything with me food wise as i reckon if I get something at the cafe that should the trick. I will also be bringing two bottles of water.

Few additional nibbles is pleasurable

Longest ride I have done is 32 miles without stopping and didn't take anything. I think you should be fine, especially if the Sky Ride does have a stop but it wouldn't do any harm to stick a cereal bar or maybe a handful of jelly beans or something in your pocket. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks bud. My other half bought some healthy cereal bars a few days ago. I will grab a couple of them

No harm in taking a few bars of something from out the cupboard just in case you need the energy boost, can always put them back when you get home if you dont use them

I rarely eat when I'm out on a solo ride up to 50 miles, though after my recent jaunt over Exmoor, I'll be taking grub with me for anything that involves chevrons pointing in the wrong direction.

Have a good bowl of porridge and a banana before you leave...and a big chunk of cake at the halfway point

Where about is the sky ride?

Wouldn't bother with energy food for that sort of distance- although you may want something just to enjoy- sweeties (no wrappers) or something
