531joshua Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Before, but give it enough time to digest, or you'll most likely get pains when your riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 A wise man once said, 'I am Fat Pants'.Seriously, a wise man called Spode shared his tips with me and a few other guys on a ride, he said eat small things often, that way, you don't feel bloated/full up if you eat a shit load at once, which will affect your riding. And eating small things often will keep your hunger down, and it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousertrials Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 So little and often. A good answer, just what i'm after. Replies like "eat when you want" and "You eat when you are hungry lol" are not good. Contrasting advice Mr Bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I say....eat a shed load of pasties and pork pies and shit before you go out, ride to wherever you're going to take the bloat off and enjoy the massive reserve of energy you've consumed when you get there. Then eat more pork pies and have a nice pint after you've finished riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_gap girl Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Dont eat a huge burger half way through a comp.It will make you fail badly!! LOLI did it at a british!, not good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I usually prefer sleep to brakfast so i just go out riding, rider for an hour or so... realise i'm hungry and becoming dehydrated in the mid-day sun... find a shop, buy stupid amounts of fluid and some sweets and sandwhiches then consume fast and resume riding. Never did me any harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom3bar Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hello!I eat about 2 hours before riding... something like fruit-shake, or cornflakes.Right before i go to ride i eat some fruit (date or a banana)...And after the ride you need some old good carbohydrates and protein (pasta, bread potatoes...)But that's only me.Tom.

Tommy d Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 When I saw the topic title the obvious answer there is 'all the time!'.More helpfully, I would say make sure you've got some carbohydratey stuff in you before you ride just to keep you going with energy.

scousertrials Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 So its carbo load before a ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashZen Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) So its carbo load before a rideIf you'r gonna ride in the afternoon, eat pasta and digest at least 2 hours before you go out... that's for endurance, then bananas or dry fruits during or just before to boost up your sugar level during a comp... (well that's valid for the morning, but who fancies pastas in the morning??)A runner I know does that before his half marathons...

shogun_gimp Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) HeyIve eaten loads before riding and never really help... Had to stop about 10 mins into riding as i got this pain... Eat something that will give you alot of energy...So ive learnt probably eat before so that you can digest the food so that ^^ doesnt happen..Or ....You can eat after you have finshed...It really depends on how hungry you are Nigel Edited September 4, 2007 by shogun_gimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
