Tell us about your weekend ride

Hmm, maybe my metabolism is not like others but for >55 miles I'd be taking 2 bananas and a Sainsbury's 3-pack of flapjacks (only £1! Filled with preservatives tho - seriously you can leave them in a cupboard for months, they will not die), rather than "a banana or fig rolls". Two whole packets of fig rolls might just see you right. I don't know, I guess people have to figure out their own bodies and get to notice the signs. But if you start feeling like you did the previous ride then it'll be for the same reason..

Yeh, it does all depend on the individual. When I'm heading out for a pretty hilly 60 miles I'll just take two bottles of water (or one water one high five zero) and an 'emergency' banana which I tend not to eat. However, I am normally pretty devestated by the end so should probably actually eat en route....
