Got several questions about nutrition on longer rides. I came close to
bonking today - my own fault as know I did not eat enough to get me through
the ride at a pace that I am capable of. However, I don't want to overdo the
calories as I am trying to lose weight.
What is considered to be an adequate supply of calories for 100km Audaxes?
Is it possible to ride with a calorie deficit i.e expend more calories than
are consumed?
I get through three litres of an energy drink with around 300 kcal/litre on
the ride plus some water - I don't think I have a problem with hydration.
Comments please....
Cheers
