• Sugar yes, but refined sugar only? What and how did you eat?

    Maltodextrin, in water. Actually now I think about it there was some BCAA powder in there as well, but none of what you'd call real food.

    More recently I've dropped the BCAAs and added some fructose powder, and I've been supplementing with a bit of real food in form of dates, dried peaches and almonds, because when the rides get really long I suspect I'll need more than just sugar.
