[quote="adrian"]Didn't contest the sprint - like Apples, I was content to lead the fast boys out and then let them have the glory

[quote="Adrian"]The pace was kept brisk and got steadily brisker, largely thanks to the chap in black who I only know as Jonathan B's mate.

On the nutrition issue, I see that the advice from Hammer Nutrition is to eat, er, a Hammer Gel. Well, who'd have thought it, eh . Have these people no shame?

I always carry some food on the clubrun. As a result, I have an unwrapped Go bar which has spent the last 18 months going to and from Charlwood nearly every Saturday morning. At least I know that I'm adequately prepared for the chocolate cake famine, should it ever hit the caff.

[quote="Dombo"] Whatever happened to cold lobster and armagnac that used to sustain Messrs Anquetil et al?

I woke up yesterday, monday, with a real stinker (hold the jokes please). Maybe that was the culprit for saturdays bonking? (now gentlemen please, really ) Sore throat this morning but things now seem to be going in the right direction and hopefully will be able to get on the turbo tomorrow night


[quote="Toks"][quote="Steve B"][ I've never carried food on a club run, and never needed to either. Breakfast, usually 4 weetabix, and then cake at the cafe is plenty to keep me going, along with energy drink, till I get home, even when riding in the training group last year.

The problem yesterday was that I rode too hard (cooking myself) after not riding hard for 7 weeks, and not at all for the first 4 of those, except a few light turbo's to keep the knee moving. My body just didn't like what I was doing to it, so it gave up. I'm going to have to show it who's boss

Does anyone else take and eat food on the club run?

always have a decent breakfast before I set out (porridge). then anything up to one hour, just carry water, 1-2 hours energy drinks, over 2 hours drinks and a pocket full of snacks.
