Dunwich Dynamo 2008

This is my first Dunwich and first century so I was wondering, what are people taking food wise (how much and what kind of thing)? Reading Hippy's comment above about preparing to get nothing at the mid way point got me thinking...

I'm going to take as much food as I can possibly fit in my bag (and cable-tie to my frame). This is my third DD, and I've had major food issues (i.e. not enough) on both others. The first year I ate four energy bars, two gels, a Snickers bar, one flapjack and two doorstep sandwiches, along with various sugary sweets and coffee beans, bits and pieces shared by other riders and three healthy meals the day before. I still bonked at 6am, and I couldn't have made it on less.

Last year I ate... actually, I just looked at the list, and it's so long that I'm embarrassed to reproduce it!

But there are people who seem to make it on two bananas and half a flapjack. I guess it just depends on your own personal metabolism and riding style. I would second all comments about not relying on the foodstop though. Oh, and carry plenty of cash - after the garage in Epping Forest, there are no shops open till Dunwich Beach, and probably not that many cashpoints either.
