Re: [RC] What do riders eat during a ride - M Paul latiolais

Diana and everyone,

I have been working on an article for the Pacific Northwest Newsletter about that very subject. Most of the info came from "mining" ridecamp archives. A lot of people have talked about this over the years. I will share it on ridecamp when I am done.

Bottom line:

Eat what you normally eat with the caveat that it not be squishy or perishable. Spread it out over the day, and make sure you take in enough salt (electrolytes) and fluids. Within those parameters there is a LOT of variation possible. Power bars, energy bars, gorp (trail mix), fruit (frozen or not), pepperoni sticks ( Old Wisconsin, NOT Hickory Farms) , smoked almonds. I always take a diet pepsi with me, but my horse is gaited. I would not recommend that for most riders.

Hi

I would like to ask this question.

What do riders eat during a ride ??

Here in Texas during the hot rides it is hard to keep things form melting. I usually take powerbars ,protein bars ... and friut jello.
I have to make myself eat ...as during the ride i am usually not hungry. But if i don't eat i get too weak.
However i found that KM liquid is a great help. I would just like to know what other people eat during rides to keep them going ...
you don't have to clutter the list. Just email me privatly.

Thank you very much

Diana :-)
