Are there different nutrition approaches for different riding disciplines? I’m preparing for The Death Ride in July which is climbing followed by coasting 😁. Would any of you fuel yourselves differently for that than any other event?
In my case I would be more selective on longer rides. If I'm doing something shorter or easier I can eat just about anything and even eat too much of it. On a longer ride with lots of climbing I have to be more careful.
I usually eat regular food like bananas, sandwiches, and certain baked goods instead of space food. I've tried lots of products made for fueling and some work fine, however. Can't stand gels and some of the powdered mixes upset my stomach.
