Nutrition has been crucial to cycling performance since the very beginnings of the sport. Yet, whilst riders have always been aware of the importance of a good diet, it's only recently that a lot of archaic eating and drinking practices have been replaced by scientifically informed diets! Join Ollie as he takes a look at the 'culinary' history of the sport of bike riding!

@ElonMuckX 3 года назад

Tequila!!! I'm serious! A little swig fights lactate acid and elevates the heart. It's known as the "Power Alcohol" because it gives you energy. And Dan just drinks boring beer. Think how far the Cervelo Test Team could have gone if they knew about Tequila..........

@SioLazer 3 года назад

@@ElonMuckX on a power lifting podcast, the athletes were talking about how a shot of liquor is just enough to make you feel like a super hero so you can hit your one rep max. It's not completely unfounded to take a belt of tequila like you suggest. alcohol is another energy source!

@SioLazer 3 года назад

depends on the ride. I'm getting ready to do a gentle recovery ride so I'm having water and black coffee and that's it. But if I'm doing more, eggs and bacon with a fatty coffee. I like putting cream, butter and cacao butter in my coffee. If the ride requires prolonged bouts of high intensity I'll target those with carbs. Usually in the form of dates or Picky Bars. I'm in the states where I don't think we get Enervit. If it's a steady state ride, I fuel with fat bombs and nut butters.

Clearly the retro gears were more demanding to muscular system rather than cardiovascular, hence the belief in high-protein diet. And wine? Just helps the digestion of steaks. Also would have appreciated Dr.Chem. Bridgewood get more into biochemestry of nicotine and how nicotinic acid (niacin) has become a vital part of energy drinks

At L'Eroica in Tuscany the food stop near Siena offered up red wine, as well as raw eggs, to get you into the spirit of the Good Old Days.

Alcohol and the bike allways makes me think back to the 2012 tour de France. French TV were following the Europcar team behind the scenes that year with a daily video diary. This meant that every day you could watch the team neck a load of red wine over diner. After Wigo had won he had an interview with France2 on the champs-élysées and they gave him a pint to celebrate - which he studiously didn't drink saying "thanks but no thanks, I've got a time trial to win in a couple of weeks time". Wonder why French cycling hasn't been succesful at the tour...

Eroica vintage bike rides celebrate the days of Coppi and Bartali. Food stops include delicious meats, cheeses, fruits, and, yes, wine. It seems to work for thousands of riders over demanding 150K courses. Perhaps not a race, but a very enjoyable way to experience a day on a steel bike, up and down mountains and over gravel sectors. At the finish? More of the same food and drink.

I'm 68 , work /still/ as auto mechanic , heavy work . Few years back I realized that eating only once a day works for me . Everyone thinks I'm crazy . Tea with honey and milk in the morning , at work only water . When I get home , quarter of cabbage , 2 big potatoes . Throw it in pressure cooker . Piece of fish , or chicken on the side . Wash with almost a bottle of red ..... No I'm not kidding . Bunch of grapes and maybe 2 slices of all grain bread with some cheese . Same when riding /except the red/ however I did Cypress Mtn. in West Vancouver "juiced up" . I qualified for the World Championship Gran Fondo last year . From Vancouver to Whistler in 4 hours ... Met Simon in Whistler . Too bad not happening this year . But to be honest when I'm at work I could eat more than anybody else ..... But my brain is OK with my routine . I really enjoy my dinners because my gut is not full . When I sleep I do not need fuel . So what I ate last night fuels me for the next day . Oh and Vancouver to Whistler on one or 2 bottles of water . 2 only if it's hot .... Is that weird ? Feel GREAT .

We can't forget, after a ride or especially a race...our leg muscles will have been torn microscopically from the work we've done on them and to recover stronger, you want a high protein level meal to aid in rebuilding those muscle fibers. Carbs can be your second thought directly ride or race! Chocolate milk is great for a quick serving of protein!
