In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most overlooked but critical aspects of cycling racing: how to fuel during a long race. With the Cherohala Challenge coming up, we address:

• Should you rely on the aid stations? Or carry everything yourself?
• What’s the real cost—in time and performance—of stopping?
• Should you pee on the bike?

We also dive into our thoughts on this year’s Giro d'Italia. Whether you’re trying to win, survive, or just get better—this episode is for you.

Sugar, salt & science: which cycling nutrition mix is actually worth it? In this episode, we break down the three pillars of endurance fueling—fluids, electrolytes, and carbs—and how to read nutrition labels to help you determine which drink mix is best based on serving size.

We geek out on everything from glucose, electrolytes, why sugar actually supports hydration, and what numbers you should actually aim for per hour of riding.

🧪 Curious which mix works best for your budget and performance goals?
