Eats Squid
The Bobbo aproacheth, and this time I thought I'd put some thought into my pre ride diet.
The ride is a road ride 105kms long, 1500m of climbing. Its no three peaks but its a challenging ride for me. I know what works for me on the bike but this time I'll try some carb loading before the race beyond scarfing down a big spag bol the night before. Previous times have been 4:44 and 5:17 (sick) this time was hoping for sub 4, I think sub 4:15 will leave me content.
So starting today, for three days this is what I'm gonna eat per day (or something like it). I don't think I can actually eat this much food but I'll give it a crack. This should give me about 500+ grams of carbs a day. Also drink 2 litres of water a day which I do any way.
Starting weight 79kgs @ 180cm.
Brekky
Bagel with strawberry jam

Not a lot of science has gone into this, just copied something off the interwebs.
