I'm curious here too. I remember before the Vermont 100 one year, they
had a huge spaghetti supper the night before. While I love that kind of
food, it's heavey to competete with. I like lighter food when riding.
Also, I eat mostly a protien diet, as after much prednisone for my lungs
a few years ago, my body cannot handle carbs normally. What I have been
doing is living on chocolate protien drinks for this stuff. I don't feel
bad stomach wise, and I know I am still eating what I should. If I eat
carbs and sugars, it throws my insulin levels out of wack, and I feel
like crap. And becuase it's chocolatre flavored, I don't feel like I
miss out. The protien bars however, really suck! And the power bars
aren't much better.
