Snacks on Tracks

[Hobo Mikey]

What do you take out on your ride to snack on.
I normally carry 2lts of water in camelbak and take a cereal bar as a snack if I get hungry and normally have £10 on me incase I need something more to eat. I will add this is for energy.

It's not a race you know !

In France this is the typical basic essentials any cyclist would have with them if you're planning to be out for more than an hour :

You don't have to be in France though.

This was a photo from one of @steve_sordy's group rides from last year, you can see Steve's "Organisers" pillow in the middle :

This is what @TheBikePilot tows behind him and carries in his bag when on a film session with @Rob Rides EMTB. Professional production requires the correct level of snacks to be available and a suitable place to enjoy them.

Someone like @Gary is far more practical and just takes one of these along :

Correction Zims.
I carry ONE of these.

It's good for a 100mile road ride so if you even need to eat at all on an Ebike ride take a good long look at yourself. And be ashamed of what you see.

If peaple don’t need to eat or hydrate for energy while out on a ride why is there so many products on the market and so much info.
of course if we were all perfect and never needed anything like Gary then all these companies would be out of business apart from the Caramel company.

I don't normally take anything to eat on a ride .. but I think if I had a box of them I would

That seems to me to be a perfectly sensible innovation!

 

[The Hodge]

Usually a Co-op meal deal ..sarnie BLT or similar .. drink Lucozade Sport orange.. and depending whether Im in full on savoury or feeling sweet ..a choc brownie or bag of crisps ..sometimes I bring some of it back to snack on in the car on the way home if its been an away trip ..
I also have some snack size bites like Crunchie, Wispa , Mars bar etc to share with my riding buds ..Im kind like that ( its probably the only reason they ride with me ! ) ?

Homemade beef jerky ?

 

[Doomanic]

Surely the best method is to pre-load with a Maccies Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin before you even throw a leg over the bike?

Particularly if you are nursing a raging hangover!

[The Hodge]

I‘m on so many painkillers, that can only be a good thing! But haven’t noticed any change to my routine with them!

 

[Kernow]

I’ve seen what the lads who can actually ride a 100 miles in Cornwall can tuck away , they aren’t proud , or full of shit
