Sorry if this question has been posted before, but:
If you are racing or have a big training ride the next day, what do you
eat for dinner?
My preference at the moment in pasta, but I have heard rave reviews of
having steak!!!!

Pizza. I avoid spicy ones the night before for obvious reasons..

Cheers, Tro

Mostly carbs with some protein is meant to be the best.

G'day Rhino

Carbs, carbs & for desert......carbs. Normally, rice, pasta, potatos
bread etc....of course, equally important is the post race/rid
'pigout'. Doing this right will aid recovery so you can do it al
again......quicker

Just wanting to provide a different angle compared to the responses so
far. I like to have lots of carbs the day before race/long ride day.
Pasta, potatoes rice, etc.....😉

Surely you can't complete a long ride on just _one_ carton?!

triathletes (you know the ones. wedgies in their speedos. riding a
25kph looking very serious and wandering all over the road cos they can
steer on dem darn tr-bars. ejector-seat me outta this forum now...

Do steroids count as carbs, carbs and more carbs? Apparently many practice this at big competitions. They all contain the basic ingredients: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen... 🙂

I was wondering if anyone knew a good mixer for EPO?
I tried washing it down with beer, but it was like washing
down toothpaste with O.J....

I usually do spaghetti bolognese, washed down with a nice bottle of
Koonunga Hill or Wynns Coonawarra Shiraz. Though most of my races
aren't until the afternoon, so any residual hangover is generally
gone.

Suzy
