TOP TIPS FOR A LONG RIDE

-

If you’re out for a long, lower intensity ride (more than 3-4 hours), it’s always good to have a mix of carbs for energy, and protein to keep your tummy happy and hunger at bay.

Make sure you drink regularly to stay hydrated. Alternatin­g between water and a sports drink can help to get some additional fuel in without need to stop and eat solid snacks.

Keep trying a range of different foods while riding until you find something that works for you – everyone is different!

Remember to have a good recovery meal with carbs and protein when you finish your ride so you can get back on and do the same again tomorrow.
