The guys over at Bonk Breaker make the best energy bar on the planet. These little bars have saved me countless times on the trial and work perfect as a pre-ride/run snack. I’m not kidding, I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t call it their favorite bar.
Recently they released a brand new website with the ability to buy the bars directly from them.

This is another post for Andy since he seems to be struggling this year with injuries related to his outdoor activities…
It’s no secret that a diet high in fruit, nuts and fish is a healthy one, but eating well might also be your best defense against ride-ruining injuries.
Obviously we’re not going to tell you that eating a banana will fix a broken leg and, as far as we know, coffee and walnut cake is no cure for concussion, but sensible diet choices really can reduce post-ride soreness and speed up recovery from strains and knocks.
Simply riding a bike results in inflammation of your muscles, as exercising causes microscopic damage to them – which is why you ache after a long or hard ride. Pulling a muscle, or crashing and removing layers of skin, leads to inflammation on an even grander scale but while it’s uncomfortable, some inflammation is actually healthy.

Nutrition: How to trim your weight
By Chris Fenn
“Lose your excess baggage No, not a lesson from BA passengers at Terminal 5, Chris Fenn advises on how to shift a few pounds from your bike’s engine: you
Let’s face it, if you’re carrying too much extra weight, cycling – especially uphill – is a lot harder than if you’re a lean machine. It’s easier, but more expensive, to lose weight from your bike, but it is possible to lose a few pounds of fat from your body – especially if you know why those pounds crept on in the first place.”
