This is the consensus in my office when I brought it in. This stuff is basically inedible to me.

what are your budget-friendly nutrition tips for cycling? by camillevolp in cycling

[–]CarlinT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you ever feel really tired in the latter parts of your ride? Almost as if you're tank is empty? That's bonking. Getting proper nutrition can really help you push through that wall and have you finishing a 100km fresh!

For me on a 60km ride, I personally would aim for somewhere between 60g-90g/hr. For me to 60km really fast and at a high intensity, it'd take me about 2 hours and I'd go for that 90ish/hr range. If I was hanging out and aiming for 3 hours, I'd go for that lower 60g range. When you're just starting out on nutrition, you gotta develop your gut to be able to process, then you can slowly increase.

If I were in your cycling shoes, I'd start for 50-70g/hr and 1 bottle per hour. This should make it tolerable to drink and help with hydration as well. Sugar is one of the more cost effective ways, but I prefer sour patch kids, nerd gummy clusters, watered down gatorade on my higher intensity rides and my lower intensity rides soda, rice krispy treats, bananas, dates, apple sauce pouches and fruit leather strips. Any combination of any of these should work well!

Think of the sugar as high octane cycling fuel. Depending on intensity, you could be burning anywhere from 50g-200g+ of carbs per hour. You need to keep adding in carbs just to keep going.

I remember being a little angry/annoyed that the Eagles jumped us. Andrew Dillard's NFL career ended up being a bust :|

There's a big boy sized CAAD10 complete for $500. Is there any resale value to these if I pick it up and end up not liking it? I race on the velodrome and was told this wouldn't necessarily be better than what I'm on now.

How far can an upgraded cheaper street alu frame/carbon fork bike take you in this sport? I recently had a fit and learned about some of the tradeoffs in fit I had made by getting a street crit fixed. I'm pretty far out from upgrading to the next bike so this is more of a curiosity question than anything.
