diy bike food
made some date and nut energy bars the other week using the "hungry cyclist's' recipe (http://www.thehungrycyclist.com/blog/cycling-recipes/).
have only managed a couple of rides in the past week and of no significant length (30/40 miles) so they haven't really been put through a good test, but they are tasty and make an excellent on road snack..
and so far i reckon they work out about 30/40p each.
so all in all good stuff...anyone else know of some good recipes?
Fringe, morning...I will try that myself, they look tasty.
I used to make some apple and cinnamon ones with oats, honey, wheatgerm etc...tasty but far too moreish!
not all carbon is the same.
yep they are, and the dont need any cooking either 
Lovely, made these this week- much better than the £1 plus bars in the shops which are basically a flattened version of this.

last lot i made i substituted the dates for figs and added some grated chocolate (70% cocoa solids stuff).. not bad and far to easy to eat!
After spending a fortune on energy drinks I decided to make my own:
1 part OJ (makes no difference apart to price if pure or concentate) to 3 - 4 parts of water and add about a pinch of salt per litre to replace what you loose through sweat.
