Mavi looks awesome
![]() ![]() Went out and did 103 miles today at 15.1mph. Really pleased with the average but was hoping to do 130 miles but was just so windy! (Note that was a moving average - I stopped for 1 hour total) There was also a heap of climbing, over 1,150 meters! Legs are feeling it a bit now |

I use SIS Go energy bars whilst on the move and plain water in the bottle.
I also keep a Mars Bar in the tail-pack for when I get knackered or as a treat after reaching the summit of my own personal Col de Tourmalet which is Greenhow Hill, Pateley Bridge. I'd be interested to know who eats what before a pre-breakfast 20/25 miler. Meusli? yoghurt? cereals? Ginster? |

My trouble is that toward the end of the ride I start to feel sick from all the sugary stuff, I have taken a cereal bar before, but I prefer a banana on a ride. A plain bottle of water is something I don't normally take, but after my last long ride, it would be a nice change from the Nectar energy drink and perhaps then I wouldn't feel sick. I know it work in the Pyrenees last year, plus you can pour the plain water over your head when the going gets tough ![]()

Well I'm carrying a lot of extra fat so plenty of reserves
![]() I had a tun sandwich for lunch with some crisps and salad, then stopped and had a rice crispy square thingy, 2 cans of coke with lunch and 1 500ml bottle of dr pepper later on. Normally if I'm pushing on at speed, I'll take an energy gel per 20 miles or so. I also have a mahoosive breakfast before going out. |

Anyone using Strava as a training tool ? Ive just uprated to the premium package at a staggering $6 a month, its a good little app, you can finish your ride at the front door and by the time you pick up your laptop its already loaded to the main programme, check it out

I used the free Strava for a while but with my Garmin I just can't be bothered with it. I find on a lot of longer rides the phone will die before the finish.
