Breakfast

[CorsairMac]

Every time I've had yoghurt right before mountain biking, I've regretted it. It seems to make me very phlegmy.

I know I'm late on this one - but dairy will do that to you. It's why singers Never have any dairy before they have to perform!

If I am doing an organized ride, like a century, I generally just do Cytomax pre-ride mix- stir it up, drink, and go! While driving to the event, I often have a bar or banana. I also start drinking liquids- diluted juice (1/8 bottle juice the rest water). Even if I have to go to the bathroom before I start, at least I am hydrated! AND, I also start drinking right away on the ride.

If I am doing a long ride with my friends-
Boiled egg, Wheat toast, tea with milk. Then when I start riding- start drinking and munch on some kind of bar within the first 1/2hour of riding. Thereafter, drinking and bar eating will carry me for about 3 hours at which point it would be nice to have lunch!

Love the whole waffles with PB and syrup... I take mine with a big glass of milk (2%). I've had it pre-ride and it works well.

Before a long ride I (might) eat a big bowl of cereal with milk (I buy 3 kinds of cereal and mix them in a canister: currently Great Grains with nuts & dates, Grape Nuts, and all 3 kinds of Chex).

Then I take GORP or a couple of PowerBars with me.

My favorite after ride breakfast is still the Bickfords Tri-State (3 eggs over easy, 3 pancakes and double order of bacon with a big milk). Bickfords is like IHOP or Dennys.

Good Grief Spazz, I could NEVER eat that much I'd be unable to get up; from the table!

Wow - I thought I was alone in mixing cereal! I've been doing that for years, makes it much more interesting. Lately my mix has been Kashi Go Lean, Bran Buds, and Bran Chex, with fresh bananas, strawberries, and grapes. Yeah, you might think the grapes are a bit odd - I started putting (sliced in half) grapes in cereal a few years back when the summer berries disappeared, and somehow I never stopped.

Pre-ride I usually add a toasted (frozen) waffle with peanut butter too.

I started mixing cereal when I lived in Manhattan in a teeny apt with teeny kitchen. The partially full boxes took up too much space, so, depending on what kind it was I mixed 'em up.

The exception are my Coco Krispies or Coco Puffs.

They don't get mixed with nuffin!

I'm sure I've mentioned my breakfast pizza before, frozen multi grain waffle, peanut butter, and a banana sliced on top, with a glass of orange juice. Cereal doesn't seem to stick with me for long.

Snap, you know you are supposed to cook the waffle, not eat it frozen.
