Ride London 100

Depends what you are drinking; if only on water then 3-4 per hour recommended but if on carb drinks and eating other food then may not be needed.

Caffeine gel every hour to keep that ergogenic effect ticking along from your pre-ride caffeine loading. You did jack up on a load of caffeine before the ride didn't you? Hmmm?

No, I put the kettle on as I was getting up, then realised that it wouldn't boil before I had to hit the road, so turned it back off again.

My total fuelling for the day was a couple of flapjacks on the line, then three gels over the next four hours along with two bottles of water that had a Nuun tablet in each one.

I then drank everything in the finishing bag, and ate the crisps with both hands.
