As everyone else has written largely about the actual training I thought we needed a section on the best tried and tested food for a ride. So far I have found beans on toast a perfect meal before any lengthy cycle. However other good tried and tested meals are porridge, pizza (the night before) and pasta.
For last nights ride I decided to go for a lardy scampi and chips followed by waffles and ice cream. For anyone thinking it doesnt matter what you eat before a cycle trust me when I say that scampi and chips before a knackering 30 ish miles is not a good idea.
This sundays biggie cycle I will be trying a few pints of lager, pizza and garlic bread the night before so lets see how that one works. Personally I dont think it will go down well though my mate (Glenn Swalez) swears by a Chow Mein and 3 cans of lager before every ten K run.
Will let you know how it goes,
Pete (aka sportbilly) (the short, skinny balding one)
