My favorite video so far... I did 47, 100 milers last year, my wife was a life saver when I arrived home, with a recovery drink and meal. I agree with your assessment 100%.
Nice Office! -- I like to keep one bottle with pure water to rinse my teeth after carb intake to protect my teeth/breath. Totillias are great for peanut butter wraps that don't leak. On long rides, I aslo start with a banana as the first bite :-) Thanks for sharing.
I’m a long time Daryl fan, so really enjoy your channel and I wish you all the very best for your upcoming big tours. Re the need for fuelling and carbs - it’s also about intensity : competitive cyclists train and race at high intensity and need carb fuel for max performance - however at lower intensity (recreational cyclists) you don’t have to fuel, you can choose to rather metabolise fat. I am a 60 yr old keen cyclist, I fast overnight then ride > 4hrs in the morning completely fasted - taking zero calories before or during, and don’t feel weak or hungry - easy if you’re fat burning not sugar burning, but obviously I’m not riding with racer intensity.
Yes if you want to lose weight or are training very easy you can just adapt to your needs or wants. But for a 5hr day with efforts, going into it fasted can only backfire and result in not completing the training or riding below par. But yes, there is so many ways. Thanks for your comments and best of luck going forwards
You don’t burn exclusively fat below LT1. At the lower end sure you can get by on glycogen stores, but not advisable and fasted not better. It’s not that you can’t, but you will be able to go longer and faster while burning same or more fat/hour plus getting better training adaptations with at least a carb mix.
Great insight into fuelling properly, thanks! I'm definitely not great on this... If possible, I'd be really interested to see more around the types of meals the team eat together on camps/races etc
Every race is different but we try to match what we think is required for the day. But races are unpredictable to we need to be able to adapt along the way or, fuel less or more after the stage
Gold dust, thanks Daryl ✅. It appears we can get carbs in efficiently via the water bottles (+refilling) is there a point in hours or distance where the brain can't take bottles alone, and you need gels or chewables?
It's important to balance it out, make sure if your gels contain caffeine, use them at the end of the ride rather. As long as intake is meeting the requirements needed to perform, you will be ok
Have you tried using homemade sticky rice cakes with blueberries and chocolate chips wrapped in foil, or is that too messy and heavy a food? Small bites works okay. I hadn't heard of that gel brand before, I might give them a try.
I've tried both Maurtens and SIS Beta Fuel - Maurtens has a neutral taste whereas SIS is flavoured. Both were very good and retail around the same price but worth trying both to see what you prefer 👍
Sometimes I use HR to switch things up a bit. It allows the mind to focus elsewhere and not just the power. Some days you can push more but other days less, HR is still an important element to training and also understanding where your body is at.
I have never really had a problem getting them out the wrapper but I try open them up before riding or racing already, obviously still keep it in the wrapper. But they do tend to get a bit sticky under heat. It's the downfall of nearly most bars, when it's hot, they are either too dry or they are sticky or melt.
On the occasional day when you're training or racing and you feel dead flat and possibly even nauseous due to extreme heat or exhaustion, what do you do/use to get the job done?
All you can really do, is hydrate well and eat enough. But after training, try plunge in an ice cold bath with ice inside it, it doesn't need to be freezing cold but like 10 to 13 deg is good, try get your body temp down. 8min is enough, it will feel like a life time. You need to replenish your body and if you have really over "cooked" it, take a rest day the following day

Brilliant ! Legend !
Really glad for the plug you gave on the SDP with Jonesey, Bennet & Bewls. Would not have found this otherwise.
Nothing like a good muffin….. lekker!🤣
Looking good champ. Another great Vlog.
🤣 🤣 🤣 my wife loved this one. Just hope she preps some recovery meals going forward. Thanks for the insights Daryl 🙏
Great content, and 100% about the wife… best decision I ever made

Legend!! Be lekker!! 🤣🤣 thanks for the awesome content Daryl! Best comment....you will never make it in life without the right wife
Haha its so true though.
You should do a "what i eat in a day" video!
In future yes
that's epic info ... 👌
Lekker Daryl, thanks
Class. Thanks Daryl
I need to take gels on the longer rides as I find cakes and banana take up too much Pocket space.Nice place to ride.
Exactly right.
I tried 60 grams carbs drink an hour with some farbars in the mix. Stomach didn't like it🙈 fueling is a skill i need to learn
Agreed, It takes time and trial and error
I’m doing my first 100mile ride in a couple of weeks, I’ll definitely aim to fuel like this, hopefully it gets me round! Thanks for the tips 💪🏼
Make sure to be on top of fluids too if really warm
Beautiful and silent roads in Girona. Looks so nice. Many riders live around Girona - you ever meet with other riders and ride together?
Girona is like a second home for the majority of the pro-Aussie racers. :)

I would like to know what a breakfast before a long day in the saddle consists of? Cheers Daryl.
On this particular day, 2 cappuccinos, 3 egg omelette on two slices of toast, Greek yoghurt with some muesli (around 35g)
Do you guys go full on 120g/h every race or does it depend? I can imagine that your stomach will suffer from that in a grand tour. Great content!
Every race is different but we try to match what we think is required for the day. But races are unpredictable to we need to be able to adapt along the way or, fuel less or more after the stage
Do you mostly train by yourself? I thought cycling teams train together? Thanks for the videos.
Mostly solo but if I can head out with a good bunch of mates, Im always up for a chat
How many ks did u ride in u 5+hrs Daryl . Can't recall if l am following u on strava Daryl . Will have 2 check that out . Robert Australia

Nice one Daryl. Interesting that you are doing Z3 to your HR. Is that deliberate in terms of not looking at power?
Sometimes I use HR to switch things up a bit. It allows the mind to focus elsewhere and not just the power. Some days you can push more but other days less, HR is still an important element to training and also understanding where your body is at.
Didn’t know Durian Rider went pro
He didn't recommend eating 50 bananas!
Hi Daryl. I ordered the Maurten 225 energy bars but they so gooey you can’t get them out the wrapper whilst riding. Have you had this problem?

@@darylimpey7792 Many thanks for this, especially given the big race ahead! Go for it, I'm rooting for you and wishing you all the very, very best.
Puts a muffin wrapper straight into the pocket crumbs and all 😳
Can't pollute! 🤣
On a 5 hr block are you riding in a zone 2 with more pace on the climb?
Sorry for the late reply. For these efforts I was trying to find a climb where I could achieve the desired cadence and power
What sort of efforts are you doing on the climbs mate?
Some change in tempo. 3 x 30min 10min@160-165 BPM, 10min 145-150BPM, 10min @ 160-165 BPM.
@@darylimpey7792 thanks! With so much emphasis on training to power. Is there a specific reason why you are training to HR?

Hey Daryl, do you wear a heart rate monitor? Or you just rely on power and cadence?
Yes I do, rely on all 3 factors
Potentially a bit fatty, but I'm surprised you haven't considered koeksisters! Now that's some suiker!
never liked koeksisters ! Its just too much
Do you use any recovery aids like massage gun? Etc
Yes sometimes
Peeps dat Don’t ride go “Yer gunna git Phat” haha
You should never eat a dry dodgy muffin 😉
Never
