Rice cakes, as described/shown here have all but replaced gel/gu/sugar crap since I was forwarded the video. http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2008/07 ... rice-cakes I've been putting in 4-9 hour rides (most of them road) since January in preparation for a 24 solo attempt. The rice cakes are where it is at. The only problem is in the heat, they are not exactly the right things to stuff in your pocket. But, 1-4 hours, especially cool morning hours and you are set. ( if you are looping and you can store them in a cooler or you can at least chow them for the first half of the ride and settle for paste later). They are actual food rather than paste. Easy to make too, if you have a rice pot, double up the helpings of rice when you make it. Highly recommended. Peanut packs, cashew packs (costco) offer good fat and salt in small packs that can be stuffed in the pockets as well. Potatoes, wedged and wrapped in foil/waxpaper work well. I used to settle for gel until I started tooling with actual food. Not only does real food help on the ride, I whoe heartedly believe that it aids in recovery. |

Nutella! Yeah! I always fancied the almond version they sold in .de, but not in the US. I am the LAST guy you want to ask about proper nutrition. A friend told me that on the way to Tahoe they gave (i.e. tried) to give water to an infant. The reaction was one of utter disgust. I trust in human instinct and avoid water in my backback. G2, diluted with a double dose of Red Bull (Red Bull Cola if I want to live it up) and some ice cubes. Doesn't do a thing for me except taste great. I am a long standing admirer of the German bobsled teams of the 50ies. They knew what it took to be fast on the DH. Beer, bratwurst and a healthy weigh in. Invest in bigger brakes... overall I am in Evan's camp. Hope y'all are having fun. DM |

Substitute whole wheat bread for whole wheat bagel or multi-grain frozen waffle if they're in the kitchen. I'll eat this if we're doing a big ride that requires a longer drive as it takes about 3 hours to settle. Otherwise pre-ride mornings I'll have a piece of toast, scrambled egg and half a banana. If I'm running and it's been a long time since my last meal - vanilla powerbars are where its at. On the trail I typically have water in the pack and heed or perpetuem in a bottle. If I don't have perpetuem I'd better have a couple of gels (I'm talking rides longer than 3 hours, typically I don't ride less than 2 hours - if I don't have 2 hours for a ride, I run or sit on the couch because I got home from work late, I'm tired, and it's dark  .) On hot days I'll have endurolytes because Barcy gave them to me - don't really know if they make any difference, knock on wood, I've never cramped up before. Chocolate soy milk from trader joes is one of my favorite recovery drinks but I rarely have it in the fridge. I love potato chips after a long ride in the summer. Tortilla chips and guacamole are also high on the list (my diet really sucks since I started mountain biking). |

Phil (ocd) -- thanks for posting that link to Allen Lim's race foods. With that I was able to find the potato recipe I knew was out there but couldn't locate. I'd forgotten to whom it was attributable, but now I know. I definitely have to try the rice and the panini too. For those of you interested in "real food" bike nutrition, Allen Lim has several videos on YouTube. |

I usually drink just water, I will fill my camel back even for small trips, I will throw a candy bar and an orange or two in my sack too...the orange is always an instant energy pick up and I have a packet of emergen-C to add to the water if I bonk hard (never had to use it yet) if I know I'm gonna go on a ride I will try to pound some good carbs 2-4hours prior and have a protien shake and a beer after. I try to stay away from a pure heavy protien diet just prior (2-4hrs) as I have noticed it dries me out |

Good old trail food. Nuts, M&Ms, dried fruit mixed together. I have yet to bonk since I started using this. Just be careful coz it's high calorie food. |
