Black pudding, and lots of it :D

I generally thought; carbs before exercise (not after)? And sugar during ride, haribo etc for a quick boost.

BTW I don't have a clue what I'm talking about so ignore most of the above, apart from the black pudding bit, because that's just yummy.

Off to Golspie for a run on the black after work.
Any suggestions for a pre ride dinner? I'm starting to plan ahead with regard to nutrition and would like to know what you guys do?

Lunch was a sandwich and a salad (wholemeal bread with ham and tomato in the sandwich)

I guess I'm just wondering what foods are best before a tough ride.
Wholemeal pasta, eggs, fry up? :)

I cant eat at all before a bigish ride, as i end up throwing it up !
I've soiled many a trail all over the country with Mc Muffins.

Normally now go for a Coffee and a banana or apple. And about 500ml of water to make sure i'm hydrated. I also take a bag of Jelly Beans as they give you an awesome boost when needed.

Carbs are good before a ride (but not too soon before). Wholemeal pasta, brown rice, sweet potatoes and wholemeal bread are good.
If i dont have time for a big meal before i go out, i usually eat nuts, oatcakes, maltloaf or cereal bars.

A pasta dish the night before and a good breakfast in the morning and you will be set for a days riding. During riding I usually takes sandwiches, Haribo and bananas.

There are three black sections on the chase

The first is on the "Monkey Trail" section which isn't shown in video.
The second is a small section to the right of 1:42 in the video.
The third is 2mins into the video where he took the black route option but avoided the rocks.

There should be fun for some people on those bits on the meet up ;)

Slapped a quick vid together from our ride at Cannock over the hot weekend.

Trying new software , so c*cked up a few things, including the compression, but the quality doesn't look too bad in 720p

Looks like you speeded that up or the software has done it during processing and the sound was in mono!

What software was that? Remind me not to use it :p

Good quality footage though. Good tune aswell

The big ass rocks at 2 mins i always seem to miss them going too quick and head left .....They aint the smallest rocks ,the video makes them look smaller than they are.

That black section id rather do the red run as its pretty quick and flowing so tend to miss the black section there.

I was up there Friday when it was hammering it down in the evening,was great fun and probably the quickest ive been round the monkey.

The first one I avoided on purpose, as going straight on is more fun.
The second one, well that was the first time I went around that way and didn't spot it until it was next to me.

Good software, just not used it before - Final Cut Studio.
Definitely not speeded up, maybe the blurriness of the compression makes it look that way?
If you are referring to my tard brother in law pedalling in a light gear, then yea it looks dumb, but that's just him :p

We're all going to the same place soon, he's more than welcome to race me down any of those :)
 
What song was that?

It's so frustrating that no decent trials are close by for me at the moment. Bah!

Patience my pretty.
