Fopp Mar 2021 7:06pm, 12 Mar 2021 211 posts	Quote Pin Fopp Thanks, not sure I can get past the 'salty balls' name and I don't like peanut butter but the 'breakaway bar' one looks good .

jda Mar 2021 7:21pm, 12 Mar 2021 9,653 posts	Quote Pin jda In the context of 4h on a bike, I have trouble thinking of anything as unhealthy. If it was very regular event, dental issues might be worth considering. I generally have a single gel towards the end of races much over an hour. And stopped for mine pies and a cup of tea in the middle of 4 horsemen
Windsor Wool Mar 2021 7:22pm, 12 Mar 2021 5,064 posts	Quote Pin Windsor Wool Can you explain the rule to me JDA? If you CnBA I understand! I eat the stuff that we notionally buy for my son that are made by Fruit Bowl. I like School Bars and Peelers. I’m sure they are full of sugar but they at least alledge to be fruit based!
jda Mar 2021 7:39pm, 12 Mar 2021 9,654 posts	Quote Pin jda It’s just that the FTP estimate arising from 95% of your 20 min power has to exceed both 4.0W/kg and 250W in order to be rated A. So a skinny 50kg midget (not looking at anyone in particular) can do 20 mins uphill at 5.2w/kg which is 260w and their FTP estimate is still inside B cat parameters whereas us normal-sized humans get upgraded if we go over 4.2W/kg. And depending on the event rules we may actually get disqualified if we manage to cling on to your, sorry their, wheel
