Congrats on the ride. On a ride like that I think you need eat a lot on the run as well as at cafe stops. In my yoof - 1954 actually - (I'm bloody ancient now), I did a 135 mile ride across the southern counties, panniered up, and riding a bloody fixed wheel because my primitive 3 spd. derailleur broke the day before. As well as three stops for full meals, I munched more or less continously on cereal bars, nuts and raisins and other snacks, for the whole ride, in an effort to avoid bonking, which I had once experienced badly. We didn't have today's scientific know how, I suppose, but that worked for me. Enjoying your videos - keep up the good work.
Good advice, Your two major significant facts are perfect one is eat and two is enjoy the ride. This will allow the rider to finish the ride. Nice Work!
200km in a day is very impressive; I've done some very long bike tours, but I've only ridden that far in a day a few times in my entire life. (And every time I did, I wished I hadn't, to be honest.) I've found that bringing along about 10-12 whole wheat fig bars on long rides is pretty effective for preventing bonking, for whatever that's worth. They're light, calorie dense, easy to eat and digest, and taste a lot better than energy bars.
That's about as far as I've ever ridden. Agreed about pacing. Start very slow. I tend to speed up slowly until without noticing I'm riding too fast. Heat tolerance is often a major problem. Around here it gets very hot and humid. I've found myself severely heat stressed and in a bad way despite copious fluid intake. It's no fun still feeling badly the next day. Usually the loops I ride can be cut through to reduce distance. Riding solo I carry supplies to fix multiple punctures, spare spokes, and the tools to remove the sprocket. Before setting out, avoid making major changes to the bike, because sometimes you can create your own problems. Stick with the tried and true! No Tubolito!
What an awesome video and knowledge share. I find myself biking better on a light stomach than a heavier one and stuff like pizza, sandwiches, etc., ruin the ride for me. Gels don’t seem to do much. However, what does work for me is fruit. Oranges, grapes, banana really help boost energy. But the worst thing about a long ride, say 50 miles or more, is wondering what it will feel like relaxing on my chair, if I don’t get run over and do actually make it back safe!
Congratulations on your double metric century, good advice about nutrition and hydration I am currently carb loading for rides I have planned in August
Wise words indeed. For my part, Jam and Peanut Butter sarnies (as in both in one sarnie) sound horrible in prospect but aren't too sickly to eat and work really well indeed. For lesser rides it's Malt Loaf and Jelly Babies all the way! Here, at about 3:35, is that a model of an airship behind your right shoulder? Looks cool anyway. Blimey, check out all those camera angles! You'll be doing casual, hand in one pocket while gesturing with the other, walking towards the camera chats next like they do on the telly!
Sounds like you almost bonked on your ride. It's important to know how your body reacts to certain foods during the ride. What gets you through a long ride nutritionally may work for you but not your mate. I'm not a fan of carb loading or pre loading any type of food prior to the ride. I prefer to eat and drink regularly throughout the entire ride. Usually every 10 to 15 miles I'll eat something and I'll drink every five miles or so. I know what my body can tolerate. There's no magic formula. There's some individual experimentation involved. I know mates who can do full centuries with a few snack bars and a couple of water bottles. That doesn't work for me. I need more hydration and nutrition. Your suggestions are good. Like the expression goes IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL!

Thanks Julian. I'm planning my first 100km this weekend, which is a significant step up for me, so this has come just in time

A timely video. I’m training for a 100k ride in July. Furthest I’ve done in the past is 80km off road and was overtaken by several snails.
Very sound advice. I suffer from "Don't worry it'll be OK" and it usually isn't !!

Solid ride and great advice, especially on eating pre and during the ride.
Full malt loaf.....💪.. cold wet rain ??

It is an airship Mick - unfortunately, it fell off the shelf and exploded. Went down like a lead Zeppelin!
@@JulianHutchings I hope it didn't hit you on the head and leave you erm... dazed and confused... ;-)
Well done on the ride Julian.. I find dates are a great fuel on the bike 🚴🤩👍 great vid
Katie Kookaburra likes dates.
@@JulianHutchings But would you date Katie?
