cycling supplements

With nutrition and hydration playing key roles in how we perform on the bike we felt it was important to take a look at a number of ways in which cyclists could benefit from improved nutrition and hydration – and we don't just mean grabbing a Mars bar or a pasty before you go out and a swift pint on your way back home, either! You know who you are.

Many of us will have something to eat before we go out for a bike ride, stocking up on energy and venturing out ready to tackle the road or trail ahead. You probably also grab a quick swig from a hydration pack or water bottle when you feel thirsty or need a boost. That's perfectly fine and highly advisable, but does that mean you're eating and drinking in a way that will keep you fit and healthy?
