so, I know that the typical muscle stores about two hours worth of glycogen, correct?
And that after it's depleted, your body starts to use the glucose in your blood stream, yeah?
And if you don't re-supply, you'll bonk or worse, right?
Ok, so how much carbs should one eat in a day? Suppose someone is riding an average of 45 minutes/day with one day at 3-6 hours. Do you need extra carbs the night before the big ride? Or do you simply need to eat while riding?
I'm trying to reduce my carb intake as much as reasonably possible, but I don't want to damage myself on or from my big rides.
