Just read the article on eggs and it crossed my mind that a boiled egg might be quite nice as a mid ride snack, but does it offer enough energy to make it worth eating? So I would like to find out what sort of foods people eat on long rides and what they feel works.
When I get around to the spa, I usually pack a Sorean malt loaf and munch that. Bananas and homemade flapjack are my seconds.
Other people I ride with eat cheap tuna sarnis from Aldi, or pack a massive pack of caramel biscuits. Turns into quite a banquet when we spread the love. I'm always looking out for good food for long endurance events or just when I'm particularly unfit.
please vote in the poll and drop a messege as to what you reckon is top sustainance for long rides.
And - any homemade water additives? Someone I ride with adds sugar and salt to his camelback.
