No problem, Rene. Have a great ride! Also, I forgot to mention to try to
rest the day before the ride. Don't ride the day before. Let the legs

René,
I've replied off list with info on the "no man's land" of the dangers of
eating above ketogenic, which keeps the liver from kicking in) but not
enough to meet the body's daily needs. I suspect there is grey area on the
number that divide low/low; medium/low; and high/low carb amounts, but
@Lungimsam: Thanks for the totally sensible approach and recommendations.
That's exactly how I'll approach it. It's funny that my 23 mile ride
yesterday felt horrible, everything hurt, but then in the evening, after
some brooding during the day, I took my wife out and we went to the movies

A few more thoughts as Iv'e been thinking on this:
-- Bonking is non-existant once you convert to fat burning.
-- "Fading" (what I call it) can happen, especially in the first few years
of fat burning. Think of energy consumption as a fire burning. Sugar
burners are always burning duff and kindl
How hilly is the ride? I was nervous before my first 62 mile ride. It
turned out to be way easier than I ever thought it would be.
I don't do low carb riding or diets, but here are a few general long ride
tips:
1. *Keep it in perspective*: If *there is SAG*, there is nothing to worry
about. If
riding in s. Texas summers, taking along SmartWater is a good idea, and
can't describe to you how wonderful fresh fruit can be, mandarin oranges,
tangelos, etc. Around here, it's fresh peaches at roadside stands.

I suspect that most bonk is caused by electrolyte loss, not glucose. On
very long rides in very hot weather I drink half water & half sport drink.
I carry salty snacks and for century rides and some potassium tablets.
Eat what you like.

Thank you all for your insights and feedback.
I'm feeling quite nervous and am trying to relieve the mental pressure. If
I need to get bailed out, so be it. I don't know if I'm aiming too much too
soon, sometimes it certainly feels that way when I assess how I feel after
2 - 3 hour rides. This, un
Hi Rene-
I went low carb / high fat this winter. And with the school year not quite
over, I have yet to do any really long rides yet this season. But...in one
of the Gary Taubes talks on YouTube (I forget which one), he mentions that
he often brings a water bottle full of chicken broth (in addi
I didn't find brevets and low carb eating to be compatible. I was rigorously on
the Eat Bacon Don't Jog way of eating. I lost weight and found it, at the time,
easy to do and satisfying. I seemed to have reached nutritional ketosis and to
have adapted to burning fat for energy. I could easily ri
Hi René! Congrats on sticking to the low carb stuff - I've been off and on
for a while - like most diets, I find it hard to "stay different" from what
others are eating around me. Need to find the zen chi and become myself...
As far as what to eat on longer rides, here's my take. I did brevet
Excellent job! Way to go! Remember one of the "principles" of Maffetone
(one I wasn't very good at adhering to while building up my base -- now it
just happens naturally) is to return home feeling like you could do it all
again (but not).
Look into resistant starch (think uber green banana). H
Hi, René,
The Lake Tahoe ride sounds like lots of fun. Can't make it next Sunday, but
maybe the next time it's done - I might even be almost in shape by then!
As for high-fat, bike-portable snacks, we have enjoyed nut balls made from
macadamia nuts, coconut oil and coconut butter, cacao nibs, a
