Do you really need those things? etc etc<br /><br />Like you, Craig, I don't get out as much as I'd like so I always want to ensure that I enjoy my riding as much as possible by making sure I'm not going to bonk, or get cramps, by ensuring I've got the bottles filled up and pockets bursting with various gels, bars and fruit. <br /><br />The theory I always adhere to is that if I'm thirsty or hungry then it's too late. So I make sure I eat and drink little and often - but the products I use vary on the season - basically if I'm not sweating then I don't worry too much what I'm taking in, but especially in the summer, I tend to go for the 'scientific' products to ensure I'm replacing all the right stuff that my body is sweating out.<br /><br />Oh, and I always make sure I've got some jaffacakes or fig rolls!jdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252949028010748194.post-91231497524226566522012-02-29T11:37:33.208+00:002012-02-29T11:37:33.208+00:00Saving hard for an Aurious, loving the design and ...Saving hard for an Aurious, loving the design and loving the reviews.

One is due to not having enough carbs in you, the other more related to replenshing both carbs and protein afterwards.<br /><br />During a long ride I definitely need carbs that can be quickly processed to avoid "bonking", but you can (and many pro riders do) skip the commercial energy foods... banana, jam sandwich etc... all good.<br /><br />Nothing like a pint of milk for recovery though !<br /><br />Excuse me, off to hit the watt meter at spin class :)Tom McCallumhttp://shirlawscoaching.kynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252949028010748194.post-40185254927135473122012-02-04T13:01:20.117+00:002012-02-04T13:01:20.117+00:00Very, very nice looking bikes - love black bikes a...Very, very nice looking bikes - love black bikes and these look really wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252949028010748194.post-85880824905179175772012-02-03T16:05:42.228+00:002012-02-03T16:05:42.228+00:00Amazing bikes and well done on the tie in with Rob...Amazing bikes and well done on the tie in with Rob Hayles, couldn't think of a better person in bike development.

I never let up or took time out.<br /><br />I have now retired completely I have had enough and am now making up for it, so, make sure you take time out for yourself your business plan sounds solid and I wish you all the very best with your health and of course, Onix Bikes. All the very best.<br /><br />@Mick_WheatleyMick Wheatleynoreply@blogger.com
