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 :)
I’m in the same boat. Got 110+ mile with 12000 feet of climbing coming up. I’m looking at 10 hour ride.
From what I’ve found, everyone seems to be saying 40-100 carbs an hour. So that’s a decent amount of gels and food to pack.
