Supplements for training

Hi guys,
My name is Dave and i am new to the world of road biking,
I have been biking now for 7 months and have gone from 10 miles and being shattered to going 50 miles and feeling o.k . i am now thinking of supplements and a training program but i dont have a clue of how to do both or what to buy???
Im currently 25 and im slim build, with a natural strengh, which has come from working on site as a plumber for 10 years. I really want to step forward and continue training which is why i have purchased a set of TACX rollers, but again need help on what to-do next. PLAESE HELP!!!!!!!
Many thanks Dave

I would suggest the next step is to buy a heart rate monitor and work out your zones - a search on the web for 'cycle training with a HRM ' - should give you the basics of a getting started training program .
you might then want to consider what your goals are - be it weight loss, distance, or competing in a TT ....
Sport Supplements UK do a good deal on a 24hr protein stack which has Whey Protein Isolate (for morning and post-workout) and Milk Protein Isolate (for before bed).
This was the stack:

There's quite a lot of other company's out there who also sell sport supplements like All in one etc, but i would stay clear of maximuscle as it can be ridiculously expensive.

Other than those I wouldn't get too much into the odd world of sports nutrition and just make sure you eat 3 healthy and hearty meals a day. If you do a long ride make sure you eat plenty of good fuel so that you don't end up running out of glycogen / fat and start metabolising muscle instead. 1 hour of riding at 17mph+ on your own will burn upto 1100 calories (dependent on weight), so having a couple of Nutri-grain Elevenses or a Flapjack or something will really help.
Yup, but it's £15-£20 for a tub of 1.8kg SIS GO, which is 98% maltodextrin + flavourings + electrolites.
For about £20 you can buy 5kg maltodextrin + electrolite powder. And flavour it with whatever flavour squash you like.
Not too sure on the ingrediants in things like Rego so can't comment, but I assume it's probably a tad overpriced for what you're actually getting.
