Pre-ride meal

[crazycanuck]

Someone mentioned in a thread the other day that if you're doing a short ride that you don't necessarily have to eat prior....now if i could remember the thread...

40km is a nice & short distance so if i were doing that it would depend on the time of day.. Urmmm..my bowels & very early morning rides don't get on...I'd try and have a bit of a banana but most of what I consume would be mostly drink wise or perhaps a couple of shot bloks..

Hopefully someone else might have a better suggestion

Have you read Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition book?

I'm a bit scattered at the moment...
