    What do you eat before a big ride?

    I like to make a breakfast burrito w/egg, cheese, bacon and salsa. A glass of oj to top it off.

    I'm getting ready to leave now for what will hopefully be a good LSD ride. On the way there, I'm going to stop at Waffle House for steak 'n' eggs with hashbrowns and toast, and a glass or two of sweet iced tea. Breakfast of Champions (Not!)

    Great thread!
    I like oatmeal and OJ. Trying to find something new, tho. Something with a lower glycemic index value to stay with me longer. You ladies will surely have good ideas!

    Century ride- Endurox 4 with milk and yogurt plus part of a wheat/cinammon roll. Then as soon as I get to the ride, some orange slices and then start drinking my Cytomax.

    Nancy- what do you eat ON the bike during a century? Do you drink your Cytomax all during the ride? I've tried various food combinations on the bike, and can't find something that doesn't make me nauseated after 4-5 hours. Tried: fig newtons, power bars, jelly bellies, gu, pb&j, pretzels...
    A friend of mine just finished his first ironman and ate Payday's the whole way. Don't think I'm not thinking of that...
    Thanks- and sorry to hijack this thread...
