Petrified

FUEL FUEL FUEL!!!!

If you are wiping out for the rest of the day after a ride, then you aren't fueling enough before and during. You need a 100 gram carb load for about every 15-20 miles or per hour - whichever you meet. Thats an AVERAGE - some people need more, some less.

Hey that is great information about a specific amount of refueling per time or distance, but 100 grams seems like a lot...are you sure it isn't 100 calories? 100 carb grams would be 900 calories...and as someone who has always struggled with my weight, I don't think I could make myself eat that much (unless it was all chocolate of course!). But I could have a totally skewed mental attitude on this, so I really want to know!

Edit: umm...change that 900 to 400 cals. I got confused! So maybe 100 grams = 400 cals is right? I have no sense of perspective on this type of issue.
