I had a 35 mile ride Saturday. breakfast was an apple with almond butter and chia seeds. I never get heartburn, and that food is not likely to cause heartburn, but I was dying on the ride.
I talked to a trainer friend of mine, and he said that it is due to hot air running over the larynx. It can sometimes make you temporarily lose your voice, or cause heartburn. I usually chew gum while I ride, but on Saturday I was out so I skipped it. According to this guy, if you breathe through your nose (which i do when I chew gum), it cools the air enough to avoid the issue. The problem occurs mostly when you are breathing hot air through your mouth.
Not sure if this has ever happened to anyone else, but I was happy to find it out so that I could skip the worry about food selection and avoid more drugs in my system.
