I am fairly new to biking, but my husband has been riding for along time. He doesnt do too much before he rides. I use to lift weights alot and I would always eat protien and some fruit afterwards. I know that it is good to have protein after a ride, but I dont know what is good to have before a ride. The other day I felt real sick in the evening after a ride, and I think it is because I had nothing in my stomach before the ride and then ate about 45 min after the ride. I dont know if a mountian biker should eat different from a road cyclist, but if so I am a mountian biker. Please help?!?!
