I’ve decided to use a mixture of products to help energise me for the Cycle ride of the Lon Las. I first started using a Energy Drink called PSP22 Energy from Sports In Science (SIS). This is apparently according to the literature a complex carbohydrate energy fuel for high-energy performance. I’ve opted for the orange flavour drink.
After the ride I thought about a recovery drink. The only product on the Market that I found is from Maximuscle (The company that has Josh Lewsey in their adverts) called Recovermax. The drink is a unique ratio of carbohydrate and protein helps restore body glycogen levels. I use the Fruit Punch flavour and I can highly recommend that you try another flavour as I will not be using this flavour.
Finally, during the ride I will be opting to use a PowerBar and some Jelly Beans. Believe it or not the Jelly Belly company do sporting beans that contain added Vitamins B & C and provides 25g or Carbohydrate and 120mg of Electrolytes.
The other riders (Simon A and Simon M) suggest that I’m cheating using such products. But today I found that Simon A has purchased some at Evans Cycles over the weekend.
