... If I get up early in the morning and have no braekfast and go for a 20 or 30 k ride, I seem to get tired easilly. However if I have breakfast I feel better. Is this normal ? You gotta eat champ.......I can't live without breakfast - I eat 8 Weet-Bix with light milk and 4 slices toast with marmalade (no butter) every morning before riding to work (about 1 hour ride). I also have mid-morning snacks at 9ish and 1030ish (usually fruit). I am pretty big and have a high metabolism so my eating patterns would prob not be suited for you, but it is important to fuel the body first thing in the morning (especially before exercise). I find that the only problem with eating heaps is that when I have holidays at Christmas and stay off the bike for a couple of weeks, my eating habits stay the same and I generally put on a couple of kilos by the time I get back to work and back on the bike. This year I might even try something novel with a combination of cutting back a bit on the food and throwing in a couple of rides a week. Ride On, Gags Ride On, Gags |

Strewth. Unfortuantely, I only discovered a month or so ago that I might be developing a lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, decraasing the amount of milk really makes weatbix less appetising. Is that something that you can develop? I drink heaps of milk and the only "issue" I have is it sometimes makes my sinuses block up. At least I guess that's the milk's fault? It's usually when I already have a cold. I try to avoid milk when I'm already snotty! The whole wanting to spew up whilst riding is not so fun. Sounds like you could be eating too much, too close to your ride. What would you eat before a ride and how long before the ride would it be? hippy "known to clear supermarket aisles before rides" |

"How DO you keep a mathematician busy for 350 years?" Current thinking is that you develop lactose intolerance but must be pre-disposed to it, then it will only develop if you continually have a large intake. Like most food intolerances. Each time that you have "too much" and get a reaction, you are more likely to get a reaction the next time, and all that. |

What would you eat before a ride and how long before the ride would it be? 4 weetbix about... half an hour before riding. Most of the stuff I've read seems to say to allow 2-4 hours between eating a meal and riding. This varies depending on: 'your' stomach, the food/drink in question, the intensity of the ride. You need to suss out the variables over time to see what you can eat comfortably and how long to leave it before riding. 30min is too short a time for a lot of people. http://www.google.com/search?q=eating+before+riding hippy |

If it gets that late, try a gu or a few jelly babies or something. About an hour out, a slice of toast is good, it stops me getting hungry halfway through a short session and if I'm doing a long ride I'll keep eating throughout. With the above info, I'd say 4 hours is a bit long unless it's a full steak dinner... Mmmm steak. |
