Your post reminded me of Chalo's all time pithy RBT
comment about cycling-specific energy bars and drinks, "I
just eat actual food." Works for me too.


I ate a meat pie mid ride once.Â* The day was cold.Â* The pie
was hot. Seemed like a good idea at the time.Â* It wasn't
though.Â* I was regurgitating meat all the way home.

Some actual food is counter productive.


It's a good story though!

At 85 miles into a sunny but windy 40F late September century, my friend
and I were just out of everything and stopped to eat some field corn
(dairy cow maize, not sweet corn). The effect was miraculous and within
minutes we were back riding.


From a digestion point of view, corn is very different from meat.

I refuelled with a couple of donuts and a powerade drink, with about
20km to go on a 250km ride, one day. Similarly miraculous.
