To get the most enjoyment from epic rides and challenging trails you will have to be used to eating during exercise. Foods high in carbohydrates and low in fat are ideal. While high-sugar, fatty foods such as chocolate deliver a big hit of energy, the sugar soon runs out - leaving your body to expend valuable energy breaking down the fat. In contrast, the complex carbohydrates found in starchy food release a steady stream of energy to keep you going. Hydration is equally important, as about one litre of water is needed for every hour of riding. Remember that you start to dehydrate before you get thirsty so you need to get used to drinking habitually at regular intervals. A good way to check if you are getting enough water is to weigh yourself before and after a ride. Most of the weight loss will be water, and a pound or two won't affect your performance, but more than that indicates that you need to increase your fluid intake. more halfordscompany.com | terms of use | terms & conditions of sale | privacy … Halfords Nottingham • Venture Bicycles • Honda Bikes • Mountain Bikes Cheap • Falcon Bikes • Pink Bikes • Brompton Folding Bicycles • Bonthrone • Litespeed Bicycles • Giant Road Bikes • Moto Bikes • Bicycles Direct • www.Halfords.co.uk • Buy Bikes • Used Motocross Bikes • Seven Bicycles • Solid Bikes • Rhino Bikes • Children's Bicycles • Ktm Bikes • Giant Road Bikes • Virgin Com Bikes • Excercise Bikes • Cruiser Bikes • Lemond Bikes •
