Energy and Nutrition

We are all different and we all tend to prefer different methods of consuming carbs and liquids as we ride. As well as bars, there are drinks and gels designed specifically to re-stock your fuel reserves on the go. There are also a wide range of flavours to experiment with too, trial and error is the most common method for finding the best option for your rides..

This depends on lots of factors. Consuming a 500ml bottle each hour, might not be enough if it's very hot and humid, for example. Other things which influence how much you will need to drink include, how much you are sweating and how hydrated you were before you started riding.
