Do you want to push your racing to the next level? You can do so with the right choice of fuel on the bike. The good news is you can make your own electrolyte drinks and energy bars at home. That way you can use only healthy ingredients and save some money in the process too!<\/strong>

As you know from the previous articles, a good race day fuelling strategy involves energy drinks, bars, and gels and even real foods. You can probably buy all of these at your local bike store but not all products are good quality and also you can make a good hydrating electrolyte drink and energy bar at home. These homemade products will be much healthier to eat during training sessions too because you don\u2019t really want to eat sugary gels all the time.<\/p>\n

When it comes to energy on the bike gels are the fastest and most efficient way of replenishing it. But you will get sick of them soon and they aren\u2019t really that healthy for a regular training session. That\u2019s why some variety helps. You can try making cycling classics like rice cakes or energy bars at home. Check out our own recipe for an energy bar that\u2019s great for long races or training rides. It tastes great and only contains healthy ingredients!<\/p>\n
