Dingley - good luck with both he race and the fuelling strategy. One of my mates uses a bag of mixed dried fruit and nuts so you get some saltiness too, as you do indeed get fed up of sweet gels etc after a few hours. ready salted crisps and pretzels are also a good one

They're actually quite tasty. Nuts, chocolate, egg powder and honey. I decided to shape them into turds. They're a Maffetone recipe, which I will try to find.

Yes, you have to add more chocolate to get the brown colour I did.

Exactly. Maffetone's version looks too much like flapjack.

My sister tapes mini pork pies to the top bar of her bike using masking tape. No other wrapping required.
