    Just wondering! Too difficult to peel? Slippy skins a danger to the peloton?

    And what real food do you like to eat on the bike? Soreen for me. Difficult to chew in winter and I must like quite the plonker biting huge chunks off the full loaf as I cycle, but it’s tasty and does the job nicely. Especially when it sticks to the teeth!

    forgot the home made flapjack with nuts, cherries and raisins. Only problem is it’s seriously sticky, and cannot be eaten without gluing your gloves to your bars afterwards.

    Good ideas rob, might try some of them out. My Mrs makes a cracking nut / fruit / choco chip mixture for when we are out walking, slow release energy 😀

    Rule 16.

    Voeckler was leading at the time 🙂

    Mate of mine cuts malt loaf into chunks then mashes them into bite size balls which wrapped in squares of greaseproof sit nicely in a jersey pocket. For day rides I buy the hazelnut chocolate wafers from LIDL (very high energy density for volume/mass), bananas, bread rolls with ham, salami, lettuce and cheese (salt, fat, protein), dried fruit (Graves used to do a trail mix which was perfect). I also like chocolate, but since LIDL dropped the 40% single estate bars I’ve dropped that from the list. To drink, water and on long rides fresh fruit juice in Camelbak chill bottles. Tried SiS energy drinks but my body saw them as instant fat reserve and they never worked for me.

    Never thought of that. I reckon there’s greenhouse somewhere growing bananas with skins in team colours. That should do it.
