My longest ride was 150 miles. Around 130ish I start to feel sapped of strength and my legs start feeling very sore....I'm a fast rider and I ride 200+ miles weekly with my club. I think it's becuase I don't know how to properly break & eat/drink. I just did a 135 mile ride having consumed nothing the night & morning before, 2 bottles of Gatorade and 2 more of water and 1 bannana.
I don't take breaks longer than 1-2 minutes becuase i'm afraid my legs will "cool off" and It will be too hard to get back on the bike and continue.
at what point do you guys take breaks? How much do you eat drink? what do you eat & drink?
