Also, there's a very good chance that that feeling of hunger is actually the early signs of dehydration. Drink loads of water while riding, and it will keep it at bay.0 -
Cheers for the feedback guys, i do make a point of hydrating pre and during ride as am aware of how quick i can dehydrate, I think more of the problem is i'm eating things that spike in the old energy release so porridge is a good call for slow release i believe??
Thanks again though, still fairly new to riding only in last 12mths or so and family time restricts how much time i would actually like in the saddle!!'11 Cannondale Trail SL30 -

Yes.... Definitely agree with all the above. I am relatively new too..... Drinking plenty of water the night before...... Porridge and whole meal toast definitely is a huuuuuge help!
I found that early doors (until I started to lose weight ) I needed a bottle of water an hour (at least ) I needed and yes .... As above it's easy to confuse dehydration with hunger!!!
100% definitely with porridge. And take a cereal bar or flapjack to eat on the first hour.....0 -
