Nice 50 (well 49&3/4) miles of mixed road & local gravel - loved it being 33c
Trying out the new drink supplement 👍🏼👍🏼
Thinking of selling a couple of Carradice bags I have …
Used twice a Green Campers long flap & a used 3 times Keswick Green bar bag (both with respective rack and bar adapters) - do you guys think they will sell ????
Ps bike frame long gone to aluminium heaven …
So what we are saying is when the powered drinks from home run out / hit the local shops re food and drinks ????
Didn’t work in France / Sunday 98% of places shut as in supermarkets / lucky to find a small cafe etc daft Englishman on his bike…. We shut ! Blah lol

I still needed more
But the weight and storage was adding up
Yet when I see images of Audax riders doing 400-> rides - they pack light !
So I don’t think they have those sachets of drink powder ?!
The Tablets only cover electrolytes no protein??
Or have I missed something?
How do long distance cyclists fuel themselves
I very rarely see back up trucks loaded with carbs and electrolytes sachets for the riders to have added to their drinks - so what do they do to sustain these 600km adventures
For ref I had 8 sachets of powder in my saddle bag re Normandy

8 go to France 🇫🇷
What a weekend all on the x1 gravel Tempest (with road tyres) fully loaded
450km covered (with tracks included!) Door to door - was a tad pooped at the end but feel alive 🚴
Riding across the top of the Normandy beaches in a thunderstorm was not on the game plan but made for 💯 % character building!
