Would love to see you do a ride on “real” food and compare how you feel during and after the ride. Maybe less processed food might keep the gout at bay
Very informative. I’m toying with the idea of completing the food chain story… “What I micturate and defaecate in a day while riding my bike”. I reckon it could break t’interweb.
You can forget fruit on rides like this in fact most rides ...unless it’s tinned...dates work...so does orange juice for me...but you’ll not find sugary ripe fruit...🤨
True story, after the 200 this weekend it was lentils boiled with garlic and veg stock, fried onions stirred in. Will be something different each time usually
Blimey Adam, I wish I could use Digestives to fuel my long rides - 200k on one pack is cheap cycle petrol! Sadly as a (mostly) gluten free vegan, I have to shell out way more on my fuel to keep the pedals turning🙈
I find some cereal bars ('could' even be home made if desired) to have a good balance of ingredients and reasonably robust for a day in your pocket without turning to mush. I don't go as far as you though!
Dissapointed. When the pc based analysis kicked in I thought this was going to be an expletive laden Hambini style takedown of digestive biscuits. However, it turned out to be the most peaceful and relaxing video I've ever watched on UA-cam 😂
@@adamwatkins Need a less refined power point presentation. The pen is working! Those Digestibles aren't as round as you think and wouldn't fit a round bucket!
If you have gout avoiding aged cheese, aged meats, and wines is important. You wouldn't go near any of those anyhow. On a recent ride my computer said 5300 calories for 125k. I have started to try and eat more during a ride but would have difficulty consuming as many calories as you had. It would seem that a strong gut is critical for distance riding. Something to work on that gets less attention than it deserves?
Didn't you have any breakfast before leaving home? I suspect you did. A lot of garbage in there even for a long audax day. Choc milk, porridge, poached eggs on toast. Bananas? We usually have a proper cafe stop for breakfast and lunch then maybe garage garbage during the afternoon. Don't you find digestives hard to eat on bike? Too dry.
You spotted a key error, I omitted about 800 cal of breakfast ! Toast and marmalade btw annoyed as I remembered before finishing the vid then got distracted again. I seem to cope with dry biscuits ok

I love your videos man , keep up the good work

I loved the science. I was not very good at school in science but now I feel properly learnt. 😁
Fruit. Lots of fruit at every stop. Which can be difficult to buy at a gas station, but dates are easy to pack and give a solid kick.

What happened to the jam and peanut butter sandwiches
It's about time those came out, you're right
I'd be interested to know what meal you usually eat after the ride.
So many vegan options Andy! Get creative but keep it simple 😊😉👍🏻
@@pedallinraw I'm a carnivore and get my protein via blood & guts 😂
@@andysadventures3910 I think that is what Adam is sneaking in....all those miles are impossible on plant foods 🤣😆😉

@@adamwatkins proper food Adam....full yah boots with whoop ass an blow the corpse eaters away 🤗
Quality info Capt Dangle 🎬👌🏼
Classic Zone 2 strategy! 👏🤣
What is it about digestives that you choose to eat them in particular?
Got to keep the sponsors happy
Oreos and Chips Ahoy probably as good.
Their consistent roundness is a real draw, also 1900cal in one jersey pocket, that's 200ks riding right there!

What aero bar bag is that?

Yes they're a good option
You will have got some protein from the bugs but not sure they are on chronometer?
Good point I missed those. Wonder what carb protein fat macros are in bugs

Ha, need to work on my Hambini rant technique
@@adamwatkins I think I much prefer your chilled out delivery. Much more watchable!
@@adamwatkins Need a less refined power point presentation. The pen is working! Those Digestibles aren't as round as you think and wouldn't fit a round bucket!
Imagine the kind of numbers you'd be doing if you swapped the Digestives for Jammie Dodgers. You'd be unstoppable.
Unbelievable! They're Vegan too? This opens a new opportunity
What App or programme did you log this on please?
..Oh, and by the way, I believe Vit A is what powers your immune system!
Switched to fig rolls after watching @AndysAdventures 😅😅
Hobnob is the answer. Joking aside dates and fig rolls, the after effects might not be great
Good that your getting your vitamins 😆

Ultra rides/races have been described as "an eating competition on wheels"
No beer?? can of beer every 5k

@@adamwatkins you need poached eggs Adam...🤷♂️🤨🤔😉
Yeah good point, I could use one of those circle floaty things to put the egg in. Like a jelly mold
this is something as a long distance cyclist i struggle with.
Because of my high heart rate i go through 3k calories in 80 - 90km 😅
