Longer rides and "bonking"

[amnesiac]

I like the rice-based portables from the Feed Zone cookbook. Protein doesn't generally sit well with me during a ride, so I save it for afterwards.

Oak makes a good point about electrolytes. Managing that aspect of my nutrition has made a world of difference.

Me too - I take along rice cakes and potato waffles made into little sandwiches with a piece of ham & cheese inside. I also use the Skratch Labs electrolyte mix slightly diluted - my belly tolerates it much better than others. Then I usually have a protein shake right after I get home.

I bought some skratch labs powder and some honey stingers I'd had before when my roommate offered them up. I will give those a go.
