As the title says. I’m planning on doing my first century in July. Several +50km rides behind me at the moment and averaging about 100km a week since spring. How much food should I pack? Do you guys use sports drinks etc for hydration? Any surprises I shouls know comparing the ride to shorter ones?

Thank you in advance :)

    The gels I use have a recommended dosage/intake schedule written on them, but my advice would be to pack at least a small amount of “real” food. If it’s hot it could be a good idea to add some electrolytes to your water.
