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

Seriously, Betagirl, I think any high protein or high fat meal before a ride is . 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!

Ummmmm... language difference strikes again...
Gyro? Gyro sandwich?

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?

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!

I thought organized bike rides couldn't include any gas-powered vehicles???
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
