Every Monday I am going to try to post a tip about 24 Hour Solo MTB racing for all those people I know want to try one of these events but just are not quite sure yet.
Your body stores about 100,000 calories in the form of fat on your body (give or take). So you have plenty of fuel to get through a 24 hour period. During a race, don't be concerned about replacing every calorie you spend (probably 800+ per hour). Your body can only process about 300 calories per hour....much more than that and it just goes to waste and increases your chances of gastointestinal problems.
Went for another ride today....only just bit more than 2 hours. Felt great though. I ride specific routes so I know how long it should take me....that way I usually know how I am riding.
Later.
