Nutrition
Fuel Your Endurance: Maximise Performance and Avoid Bonking. Proper nutrition is the fourth discipline of cycling. We simplify fuelling by focusing on three stages: 1. Fuel: High-carb products like Energy Gels (quick, instant boost) and Energy Bars (sustained energy). Aim for 60g to 90g of Carbohydrates per hour for rides over 90 minutes. 2. Hydration: Essential for muscle function, preventing cramps, and replacing lost salts. We stock Electrolyte Tablets and Drink Mixes to ensure you replenish electrolytes like Sodium and Potassium. 3. Recovery: The crucial 30-60 minute post-ride window. Recovery Drinks/Bars provide the essential carb-to-protein ratio (often 3:1) needed to rebuild muscle and replenish glycogen stores faster. Our staff can help you build a personalized nutrition strategy tailored to your specific event goals (from local club runs to multi-day epics).
