Nutirution on a 220miles trip done in one day

[Nanci]

What's the temperature going to be like? I can eat more food, and more solid food, when it is colder.

Chocolate milk is a great energy food with just the right proportion of carbsrotein.

Sushi goes down well for me, but only when it's cool out.

Pasta is great, but in a lighter sauce- maybe just butter- tomato sauce might upset his stomach. Make sure there is some meat in it.

Do you have Sports drinks like Gatorade there? Can you buy gels and energy bars?

I _always_ have a craving for salty things like potato chips from the middle point on in long rides like that.

He should make sure to have a substantial breakfast- that will last him a long time.

Carbo loading like pasta and rice is a very good plan before the ride

My sons, one of whom is competing in the nationals this year, suggest things like sandwiches for you to give him at his "feed-stations"
They also cite the Tour riders as having thjings like custard in buns as they ride.
If he is stopping to eat, sushi or chips might be ok, but if he is not stopping for anything other than toileting, then you want easily eaten/chewed, non-crumbly foods for him that deliver carbs and protein.
How many energy-type bars is he willing to attack in one day

Chocolate milk, or even better - chocolate-flavoured recovery drink made in milk is def necessary when he finishes

A can of creamed rice also goes down well after a hard/long ride - easy to eat and digest

Good luck

Can you post what you settle on and actually use that works for him?

The temperature should be over 85°F or 30°C, but he can endure high temperatures (unlike myself)
We have Gatorade and power bars and he'll take it on the trip but I was wondering what should I give him few days before. Also rice and pasta or can I make him something with meat (what we usually eat)?
Chocolate milk is good (and delicious ) suggestion. I haven't drink it jet during my rides and I bet he'll like it also.
Instead of sandwiches on his "feed-station" I intend to cook something and than bring him in a thermo lunch box. Are there some spices that I should avoid. I'm planing to bring him (among others) tomato soup which I made with pepper, salt and oregano. Is that good idea? Or is it better not to cook soup at all?
Thanks for helping
