Energy bars.

Guest

I just wondered if anybody had any updates on the food front.

As my distances are starting to increase, I'm obviously finding my need to take food increase.

I've tried some of the above and at the moment my favourite food is Fig Rolls, I also eat Alpen Muesli Bars though I'm not sure how good they are in terms of helping me ride longer , its just that they are easy to keep in my pocket whilst I ride and have a satisfying eating quality (i know that doesn't make sense, but it's the best way I can describe them

I don't know how you guys do it.  I can't eat before or directly after a race.  I knew I needed something in my stomach before the Cansa Race so I forced myself to eat 2 energy dynamics zone bars before and a bottle of octane.

2 sachets of corn syrup and one of GU during the ride and an ice lolly (they were being handed out) afterwards.

FIG NEWTONS!

Fig Newtons are good. They're bite sized too. I used to use Apple Newtons coz they're tastier. Cut the foil wrapper the packet comes in in half, line your jersey pocket with it and chuck them in.<br /><br />Unfortunately, you can't get them here in the UK. I use Jordan's Frusli bars. They are tasty, easy to eat, and give you a boost of energy. I eat a bite avery now and again, and wrap it up and put it back.

I've used power bars but tend to get a bad stomache and they don't taste too good!
