Danno:
Proper fucked it today, planned a route out on a map near my girlfriends not realising it was full of climbing and I hate climbing. Ended up being sick at the side of the road half way up this hill so went home. Searched it online when I got back and it was a 1km climb with an average gradient of 9.7% and maximum gradient of 21.8%.
Everything was wrong before I left - wasnt hydrated enough, rushed through different breakfast I've never had before, necked a big smoothie before I left, tyres were soft and I didn't have a pump...bad day. What's everyone eat before a ride? Is it worth getting a good breakfast in right before you go, or to eat then leave it at least 30 mins?
Dr. Steve Brule:
Coffee, Porridge and a banana, bout 45 mins before usually works for me.
Scunny:
Exactly the same. Smash some Oat So Simple and a nana, that can last me 50 miles without needing to take gels/soreen.
Was meant to get out today but bottled it, I start the MTB marathon series in a few meeks and have done no training. But I did go to the gym and put up a PB on the bench. Hench.
Edit: Drinking a smoothie, were you still drunk? I hated climbing with a passion for about a year when I first got a road bike. Love the fuck out of it now.
Kinchy:
I usually have toast and a banana, then eat regularly when I'm out - cereal bars, banana, cakes etc. Something every hour is a good bet if your not using carb drinks
Danno:
Wicked I will go for your ideas instead of today's disaster breakfast. No idea what I was thinking having a smoothie Scunny, my missus even took for the piss out of me when I told her what I had!
