How to get past "wall" at 50miles?

[Trek420]

You need to eat more on your rides, especially when (or actually before) you hit the wall. I also like eggs for breakfast. Try cheese too. And if your stomach can take it, whole grain bread of the darkest kind you can find. After 30K, eat sommat every hour.
Bananas are good and "number free", as are dried fruit. Hammer gel says it's only natural ingredients but I haven't tried it. Other than that you can mix up your own energy drinks using Maltodextrin, a pinch of salt and some flavor (fruit syrups).


P.S. NICE BIKE.

Lara bars are good and "number free" You could make your own gorp.

I've done that even on organized ride for instance if riding with anyone on a special diet. When Duck on Wheels and I "survived the epic brutal Cinderella Century" I concocted custom gorp for her.

Disclosure here; while I've found some don't want nutrition advice from the chubby gal but I do ride long miles. To ride distance you're training your body but also your stomach. Learn what you can ride/train on, that takes time.

In training I like food made from food Go figure

But on a century or multi day ride I'll eat pretty much anything they put in reach of me.

I learned that for me raisins work as well as gels and the energy lasts longer.

There are particular foods I ride better on like oatmeal for breakfast and I avoid anything with grease. There are foods that I feel aid my recovery like chocolate milk is the perfect recovery bev ....

The trick is just get out there and ride and eat and eat and ride, you'll soon find what you like.

P.S. NICE BIKE
