This is non-race oriented, but all replies are considered groovey: What are you monkeys eating before big rides?
For years now I've tried to mix-up the food thing, but I still don't have a good routine...either the egg sandwich haunts me for the first half of the ride, or the shake is used up by the time my heart rate gets up! I've become addicted to Double Caffinee Tangerine goo for the mid ride re-fill, but I'm looking for the pre-ride fill up. I know to each is own, but I'm interested in what others have to say about it.
One thing that is great I've found for those "light" rides, is a Sammy Smith's Taddy Porter in the parking lot while you gear up!
