"real" food that won't get nasty or spoil on a long, hot ride?
Quote | Reply
Seeing the "shot blocks" thread got me thinking: Bars and gels are getting old, and there's 3.5 months to go this season. Most of the bars get pretty messy around 85 degrees and 3 hours into it anyhow. What kinds of real food have you guys packed along that will keep? I'd do a ham sandwich if I could- if nothing else, my stomach is strong, and I crave REAL, SOLID food 3 hours into a workout!

Pop Tarts. 400 calories of sugary sweet goodness.

I am a fan of beef jerky of any kind. I also read somewhere that it has a very nice mix of carbs, fat and protein.

Smuckers uncrustables. You will find them in the freezer section. They are individually packaged, I drop one in my pocket on the way out the door, it takes about an hour for it to defrost and is all good 2-3hrs. into the ride. They make pb&j (grape or strawberry) and pb&honey.

Peanut butter-filled pretzels. Individually-wrapped string cheese. Bananas. And of course pb&j.

nature valley trail mix bars are awesome for me on the bike

fig newtons or similar worked really well for me in long training ride/IM, they get softer when they get warm, which is actually a good thing

pizza is okay (better in a special needs bag vs. back pocket

banana's work okay

pretzels, potato chips, gummy bears


but i think granola bars will probably be the best bet

Avoid the Bike Nashbar sushi kit. It doesn't keep well

I do a honey wheat bagel. 290cal with some protien (sometimes w/ PB). I put it in a zip lock bag and slide it over my aero bars. Works like a champ.

Peanut butter in the aerobars???? It's brilliant! Is there better motivation in the whole world? If I ride fast I can eat peanut butter!

Bean and Cheese burritos ... Taco Bell et al. Get them the day before and toss in fridge. then, put in jersey pocket and eat when needed during ride. Very good.

I like the sound of that- maybe if I make some of those "just add milk" muffins and freeze them...

Just for laughs, I'd like to pack along some fried chicken. It would be cool to have bones sticking out my jersey pocket.

If you are near one, Trader Joe's sells blueberry 'newtons.' They are individually packaged~130 Cal each.
Dried fruit works well.

I really like potatoes- baked, boiled, or oven roasted. Just add a bunch of sea salt, stick em in a ziplock bag, and you're good to go. They have good carbs, they're bland yet salty, and they also have a lot of potassium and vitamin C.

Sliced bagel in a zip lock with a very little bit of peanut butter. Ice cold coke is always great on a long ride. Raspberry/Fig newtons are staple on long rides as well. The more I have real food, the less I like gels, gu's, and powerbars, although I usually take those along as well.

I just had a couple fried chicken tenders from the Publix deli for lunch. Those would fit in my Bento box and taste really good-- hot or cold! My fingers would get slippery from grease; I'd lose my grip and bust my a$$ going down a hill though-- so nevermind!
