Food for the 24 Hour Ride

Here is a list of food I plan to bring to the 24 hour ride. This list is compiled from books, personal experience, other people's lists, and common rest stop items in other endurance events. I normally do not eat thing like M&Ms & soda. BUt the more I read the more it seems like you bow down to cravings during these races. So to have it and not use it is better than not having it when you're desperate.

Sports Drinks and Such

(The drink mixes should be pre-mixed in ziplock bags)

• Endurox
• Accelerade
• Gatorade
• maltodextrin
  
• soy protein
• Emergen-C
• Sports bars (clif, powerbar, etc)
• GU (or similar product)

The Rest

• Corn Flakes, Grape Nuts, or other high GI cereals (not fiber)
• rice milk (much higher GI than regular milk)
• bananas (moderate GI, potassium)
• assorted other fresh & dried fruit
• potatoes (baked previously, of course)
• salty lowfat snacks (crackers, pretzels, baked nachos) - choose 1
  
• bagels
• fig newtons
• cooked pasta/rice/noodles (with your favorite lowfat mixings)
• ice, water
• salt
• your favorite recovery meal (if you're going to bed at some point, or for after)

• V8, coke
