Ride fuelling .... Help please.

[toeknee]

Just reporting back on my ride this morning, did a nice 16.5 mile ride ,in 90 mins. That's the furthest I've done to date and included a cat 4 climb. I am very pleased with the way my progress is going.
Hope to get out at the weekend and do the ride again.



Ps. How do you get smiley faces ?

Congratulation sounds like your doing well.

Its surprising how fast you can increase your mileage and speed. Did you take any food out with you in the end?

Hi everyone,

My first post at last, now then here goes.

Tomorrow I am doing my longest ride to date 17-20 miles, as regard to keeping myself fuelled for the ride, this is
My intended eating plan.
Pasta tonight for tea, hydrate with water throughout today.
Porridge with dried apricots about 90 mins before ride.
Take fig rolls /Jaffa cakes for through the ride,
Obvious bottle of water.

Please advise if this is right or if anyone can suggest any alternative's I don't really fancy bonking on my first ride
With a new riding buddy

Thanks tony.

hi tony
get one of these made dam fine stuff better than malt loaf... easy to make really nice with a bit of JAM or PEANUT BUTTER


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.
