set me thinking about essentail bike, on the road food-stuff - for me it is dates, fig rolls, if you can find them, Mars Bars and strangely, likky allsorts..

What is your preferred on the move food?

P.S. Can't think why folk pay out on hugely expensive Power Bars/Gels

    When out on the bike the Mars bar becomes an object of great beauty - best served fresh from a back pocket and therefore slightly squishy.

    Flapjacks and snicker bars.

    And usually a massive sandwich, scone and can of coke if theres a cafe involved.

    They fit in the back pocket and don't go icky.

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........! A more foul concoction there's never been! I'd put an inner tube in a sandwich and eat it, rather than that!

    Usually ham or beef and mustard, occassionally cheese. Bananas are a staple when on the bike and sometimes Jordan's breakfast bars. Cheap 'n' cheerful, that's me.

    Normally I'll take a power gel, as well, for emergancies - I've only properly bonked once, but never again.[/i]

    Good call. It's highly underrated over this side of the pond.

    Banana(s). One every a.m. ride. Only fruit I ever eat and only occasion I ever eat any! Lots of cake and cream and coffee if with the CTC.

    Yeah, that's total tripe; you'd never cook inner tubes in milk, it's just stupid.

    I think you're getting inner tubes and roofing felt mixed up.

    :roll: :D

    I still cant believe that anyone really does eat that :shock: just Jam sandwiches, bananas or Jordans Frusli bars for me.

    Peanut butter and jam in between the same slices of bread? I think I would prefer to eat sand :wink: .
