FUEL YOUR CYCLING PERFORMANCE
Conquer the Climb Never Bonk
Cycling demands continuous, accessible fuel. Whether you're grinding out a weekend century ride, attacking steep gradients, or pushing max watts in a local crit, running out of glycogen means hitting the wall. We’ve structured the ultimate cycling nutrition protocols to help you sustain energy, stay hydrated, and recover faster so your legs are always ready for the next ride.
PRE-RIDE PRIME
Top up your glycogen stores with fast-acting carbohydrates and preload hydration before you clip in.
MID-RIDE FUEL
Consume high-carb energy gels and sip electrolyte drink mixes to maintain power output and prevent cramping.
POST-RIDE RECOVERY
Rebuild tired leg muscles with fast-absorbing whey protein and replenish depleted glycogen for tomorrow's route.

For rides lasting longer than 60-90 minutes, you should aim to consume roughly 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour. This usually equates to taking one energy gel every 45 minutes, depending on the intensity of your ride.
Plain water is not enough for intense or long rides. As you sweat, you lose critical electrolytes (especially sodium) which are required for muscle contraction. Adding an electrolyte or high-carb drink mix to your bidon prevents cramping and maintains hydration.
It depends on the intensity. For easy, slow endurance miles, solid foods (like energy bars or chews) work well. For high-intensity intervals, climbs, or races, your body diverts blood away from your stomach, making easily digestible energy gels a much safer bet to prevent GI distress.
"Bonking" happens when your body completely depletes its stored glycogen (carbohydrates), leaving you feeling weak, dizzy, and unable to pedal. You avoid it by fueling before you feel hungry or tired—starting your nutrition plan 45 minutes into the ride and maintaining it consistently.
Aim to consume a fast-digesting protein source within 30 to 45 minutes of un-clipping. This is your "anabolic window," the most optimal time to repair muscle fibers and restock glycogen stores so your legs aren't heavy the next day.
Yes. Caffeine reduces your perceived rate of exertion (makes the effort feel easier) and improves mental focus. They are perfect to take 15 minutes before a massive climb or during the final hour of a long, grueling ride.
