[QUOTE="FantomPoet, post: 792586, member: 47839"] Hi All, So in preparation for my upcoming century, yesterday I did a 52 mile sportive down in Sussex with the main thought of how to fuel it. I started the ride with High 5 gels and Cliff Shot Bloks in pocket and aimed to consume 3 per hour along with plenty of Zero (nil carbs drink). It seemed to work OK, the ride itself was a lot more hilly than I had expected so was glad of the boost. My cycle computer guesstimates calories burnt so I made sure I matched at least that value. My average speed was up for a long ride and I had no crash afterwards, so although it is against all my instincts to eat carbs it looks like it is the way to go. That said 52 miles will not take me to the limit where it all gets cold and fuzzy. I am taking heart that my speeds are up and that is indicating not so much is being taken out of my reserves, so my 'range' has increased. .....We shall see. [/QUOTE]
