I eat Subway (a 12" sub) 2-3 hours before a race and eat about an hour or two before hard rides and I always eat an energy bar while I'm riding. While racing I eat Powerbars during practice.
i have pretty much the same thing, but i always have an extra large mountain dew about 20min before a race.

What does Chuck Norris eat before a fight or ride?

I was serious. The two beers fast make me ride better. Not drunk, not buzzed, just loose.

I usually dont plan to eat before normal rides...I try to grab a banana and a couple of handfulls of dry cereal and or some dried fruit...

If i am doing a huge epic i will plan a meal, usuall no dairy at all.

Man, your pre-race diets are really scaring me! Do any of you actually know what energy system you use for downhill and what macronutrient content you should have?

have you ever lifted the top bun off of one of vicky's burgers ?
if there's something your systems truly needs that's not in that thing, it's because it doesn't exist.

i'll be more than happy to split one with ya.

I perfer to eat babies before I race.
ROFL! That is mint !!

I have 2 pints of blended smoothes.. usually comprised of frozen fruits (melon, strawberrys, blueberries, etc..) bananas, OJ, and a bit of cinammon. Usually have this for breakfast. I have the same thing on race day, but about 1 hours before start time while chillin' at the top of the mountain i scarf down a Powerbar.

Me:
Before every ride Sam Hill eats 16 Holstein cows, an industrial drum filled with 500 raw eggs, a copy of “Barbara Streisands’ Greatest Hits”, an Olive Loaf, a Volkswagen bus, and a rejected contestant from American Idol.
