Chamois cream. Stay hydrated, cliff bars, apricots, cytomax. How long have you been riding previously? Make sure you drink plenty of water during the week as well so you are adequately hydrated. Sunscreen too!

On our 50-60 mile rides we just have a good breakfast-for me that is protein, like ham and cheese, and maybe egg on a tortilla. For others it is oatmeal. I usually drink 2 bottles of cytomax, and 2 of water. Then maybe a cliff bar. When we get home, I need protein! A good hamburger does me fine. Have fun!

Apricots are a good snack with potassium, easier than eating bananas in your shirt pocket.

Really? Interesting. A lot of the members on our cycling team use the apricots on long rides, but of course they have been riding for several years, and knows what works for them.

Bummer. Good point about not doing food you are familiar with! I know what my body is used to, and have forgotten others may just be starting out.

HA!! That's funny...

OH, you might wanna take some wet wipes, kleenex, chapstick, and $. For emergencies.

If you have your sports drinks, water, and eat a proper breakfast you should be fine.

How far have you gone before?

So you will be doubling your ride. Serious about the chamois cream, use it. If you are prone to aches and pains, take ibuprofen along. You do have a jersey with back pockets yes?

A jersey with pockets in the back is something you will want to get for sure. You carry all that you need in there. You can reach back and get things while riding.

Go to ebay and search cycling jersey.
