Old school fuel

This is turning into a gluttony thread!

Be careful, don't eat too much Goldie. Don't go filling jersey pockets and panniers with chocolate bars. You really don't need that much carb to sustain you on a ride.

It depends, obviously, on how energetically you ride but, personally and as some who doesn't knock themselves out, I don't take food on any ride less than, say, 4 hours. I'll have breakfast/lunch and take a gel just in case.

I'm off to Saleem's on the Ladypool Road, just down from Ladypool Cycles. A quid's worth will get me through a 100km Audax.

This IS of course, what a BSA 20 shopping bike is for.

I'm in training for a 50 mile run at the moment, so these will be great for getting in the calories. Asda is a 2 minute walk away, so no need for a bike

Thanks all. There are some superb suggestions. The idea of exercising more than I ever have before, but getting chubbier, is perversely attractive. Pistachio barthi is a genius idea! I should have thought of a quick visit to one of Rusholme's fin sweet centres myself. And fig rolls sound absolutely perfect.

I have found another foodstuff. Yoghurt coated cashew nuts.

DO NOT purchase a 500g bag. They disapear in no time at all and the bag contains 3000 kCals

hate peanut butter

Substitute with banana.............

 

[the_mikey]

Banana, soreen, eccles cake, boiled new potatoes are a real treat! I just take water or watered down guava or mango juice, sometimes I'll stop and buy a can of coca cola if I'm in need of a pick up, alternatively, stop for a cup of tea somewhere.

A baked potato, with a couple of slices of malt loaf, a half a banana and a dollup of tomato ketchup.

hate peanut butter

Good!
It's not just me then. There seems to be some unwritten rule that says that you're not allowed to dislike Peanut Butter, but I'm such a rebel...
Glad you're another one, we should start a group, there must be other Peanut Butter haters out there that feel marginalised.

My other half makes a Brazilian peanut and condensed milk fudge called pasocinha. Little bite sized squares. Great for nibbling on a longer ride. I also like fig rolls and have told the family they are horrible so they don't nick my supply.

+1 for Soreen malt loaf, two slices with a little butter between and a couple of bananas see me through 50+ miles easily enough.

Interested to see the Hugh F-W recipe though, have been meaning to make that for a while, glad that it's good enough to recommend here.

God that sounds wonderful. I don't suppose she sells it does she?
