As you get more into cycling, you start to uncover and identify foods which will help you when out on the road. Either pre-ride or during the ride. Here are some which I rely on. There are loads of supplements and energy bars you can eat too (which I use), however I find they can become a bit bland and sometimes hard to digest when out riding, so mix them with Jelly Babies, Nuts and a Snickers bar if you're out on a long one. So, things I like are: -
- Porridge (pre-ride).
- Bananas (pre and during). I tend to mash my bananas into my porridge.
- Pasta (night before).
- Peanuts (during).
- Jelly Babys (during for Carbs). Loads of Pro's use these.
- Peanut butter (pre on toast or during on bread).
- Snickers bar (during). Great boost of energy.
- Sushi (night before).
- Nuts of any kind (during), make sure they are natural and unsalted.
- Blueberries (bit like a superfood apparently).
