What NOT to eat before a ride

[betagirl]

So I had a mad craving today for a gyro sandwich. NOT the best pre-ride vittles. Totally made me thirsty and I bonked about mile 35. :eek:

What have you guys eaten to later find is a big ol' anchor in your gut?

Let me guess, V will tell you about BBQ pork . . . . :eek:

[Veronica]

Nahh... I won't tell about the BBQ pork. :D

Nahh... I won't tell about the BBQ pork. :D

V.You're refusing to share your experince? I thought this forum was all about sharing.

Seriously, Betagirl, I think any high protein or high fat meal before a ride is :eek: :eek: :eek: . A little is good, but a lot? Uggg.

I cannot believe I made it all the way up Mount Diablo, feeling like I was going to barf the entire way. I think that is the worst I have ever felt on my bike.

Heh, Sarah can tell you about my Taco Bell experience. Actually though, despite feeling like death I moved along pretty well. I figured if I kept moving the desire to puke would be less. I accidentally ate two chicken chalupas and a supreme crunchy taco less than oh, and hour and a half before a 17 mile MTB ride. Throw in that I always get a little nervous riding with new people and ugh. Taco Bell is good AFTER rides!

love and cookies

Hey smurf! How do you "accidently" eat two chicken chalupas and a supreme crunchy taco :confused: :D :D

Grrl! I do that on purpose :cool:

I do love my quasi-mex from Taco Bell!

-smurfAt least we didn't see any cookies during the ride. :eek: :p

BTW, smurf, I'll work on the picture issue tonight (I hope).

I've made the mistake a couple times of eating cereal before riding. The milk just doesn't settle well. I wonder why I keep making this mistake when I know the end result.....

I was going to ask the same thing! Kinda like me "accidently" polishing off a bag 'o Circus Animal Cookies...... :rolleyes:

"Honest! The cookies just jumped out of the bag and into my mouth! I had to chew didn't I?"

Ummmmm... language difference strikes again...

Gyro? Gyro sandwich?

[spazzdog]

Gyro is a greek sandwich... only instead of bread, the mystery meat and stuff is in a pita.

Is it lamb or goat, that mystery meat? :eek:

Chili........ a big bowl of chili! NEVER again!

Taco Pizza in the middle of a century ride. Worse than the chili! We could only ride side by side, no one wanted to ride behind anyone else! It was bad! :eek: :eek:

lamb. I think. Actually I try not to think about what that stuff is.
