Some of the nutritional suplements offered such as the Hammer products are very beneficial on the rides over 3hrs. Your body processes these liquids much faster than the normally eaten solids. Tahoe can be a very tough place to ride if your not used to the elevation. We ride that area 2-3 times a year and are always humbled. Chill on the climbs and have something for the flats, which there are few. My wife and I have been riding a tandem 90% of the time for 20yrs. now. Have raced, toured and now sorta specialize in 100-200 mile rides. Best time in a double is 10hrs.12min., consuming primarily liquid suplements and a banana now and then. Gotta keep it fun and her comfortable!
