    a good mix of wholemeal pasta chicken and veg 2 hours before hand
    have a banana 30 mins before cycling however if the banana is slightly brown
    have it during or after..remember fuelling during exercise and post workout is equally important..
    2 hours before slow release wholegrain and high protein food
    30 mins before fast absorbing carbs

    personally i prefer a drink like gatorade before and have been havin high5 4:1 energy drink during..afterwards a bannana and sis recovery drink

    hope that helps

    i always go fastest with bananas, either before or during they always work for me. same as unsalted almonds and a handful of sultanas and dried apricots. and the odd corned beef sarny :P
