Eat a big enough meal 2-3 hours beforehand to ensure proper digestion and to keep from being hungry the first hour of your bike ride. This meal should consist of complex carbs - such as grains,fruits, pasta or bread. These are easily digested and will help avoid that cramping by being too full when exerting yourself during cycling.

Drink plenty of fluid with that meal - such as fruit juices or a sports drink. This will provide the calories and carbs needed to get a good start on your bike trip.

9. If you are going for a long leisurely ride, it is okay to eat your meal closer to the start of your ride. Digestion will not be an issue as you are riding at an easy pace.

10. Caffeine helps tap the energy contained in stored fat, which in turn conserves glycogen - the primary muscle fuel. However, caffeine also can cause nervousness, upset stomach, and increased urination - which in turn causes dehydration. So - know your own body and limit your caffeine accordingly.

When planning an intense bike ride or a lengthly bike ride our body needs to be prepared, so some additional nutritional needs must be met to make the trip a success and an enjoyable one. By following the above suggestions, you are sure to benefit in every way - physically and emotionally from you cycling adventure. Happy Cycling!
