G'day,
gunna sit down tonight & work thru it. I'm trying to have 70 to 80 gms of carbs per hour. The problem is being able to carry it & actually eat it......I can't see to many opportunities to eat in the first couple o' hours, (can't chew & breathe at 60kmh!!!) so it's gunna be a balancing act. 1st feed station at 100km then the next at 230km......so assuming I'm there by the time the sun goes down.....multiply the number of carbs needed x my birthdate, takeawy the number you first thought of......divided by the number of teeth on the big ring.......add a little for the number of p!ss stops...take away the fine for crossing double lines X 3.........should be about right I reckon!..........the boys are already talking about stopping at every junk food drive thru between Warnie & melb on the way back!......do you think it's possible to do melb- warnie & actually put on weight?
