It's about eating real food versus specific fitness products.

Get with the times Gu Boy!
Besides loading the environment with plastic wrappers, most 'fitness' products are full of marketing hype...
Good ole tasty wholesome nosh (KFC and Maccas do not fall into this category) is the way to go.
i rest my case!
sticky dates! Not only the result of a long ride in sweaty knicks but also the food of champions and eaten by me on every major ride!
as is
kentucky fried chicken after most of your rides!!! ...and i believe you hold the record for riding your bike through the drive through...
Dates.
I ate way to many dates during the solo 24 which might of been the cause of my date problem later in the race.
Then again...
Exhibit A...
Great
Thanks Rob! Just when I thought I had it all sorted, you go and post this
What am I going to do with all my stocks now?
Whatever works for you...
There is just no 'perfect' way! I've had so much great advice from so many experienced people and experts telling me what works for them and all of it made a lot of sense! ... at the end of the day my stomach decides what it can take after long rides or on events with multiple laps and breaks.
If I had to drink a large glass of juice after/between riding I'd be sick! Love the Endura alternated with water, works great for me! Go the energy drink
