The Guinness I'll save for after the ride...but here's my plan

Perpetuem
Gatorade in the camelback (diluted)
Gu including the new Octane Gu
trail mix
banana and stuff at the aid station
Zippfizz
More Gu.....and a packet of mustard just in case
May bring a pbnj, on the fence with that one.

**UPDATE** I saw the Girl Scouts outside the store and picked up some of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Patty cookies...will bring some of those..easy going down and peanut butter + chocolate...should help

 

Tim, you were partially correct. Here's the final plan. The "usual", consisting of the following.
1. Camelback filled with 2 liters of water mixed with 3 tablets of nuun (cola flavor)
2. Pre-ride Cigarette ( On the drive there and the last one before the start @5:29am)
3. Pre-ride Sausage McMuffin - @5:25am
4. 1 bottle of water mixed with 1 nuun tablet for the first leg ( to bottom of motorway)
5. 1 cigarette at the top of Motorway
6. eat second sausage McMuffin at bottom of motorway (aid station 1)
7. 1 post meal cigarette ( beginning of Maple springs)
8. 1 bottle of water mixed with 1 nuun tablet (gotta stay hydrated!)
9. top off to 2 liters of water/nuun mix for the camelback
10. cigarette at 4 corners
11. another cigarette at santiago peak ( at the hairpin before the descent.
12. bypass aid station 2 to finish!
13. Light up a cigar 1 mile prior to finish!!!:bang:

14. Somewhere in between consume 6-10 GU Roctane(vanilla orange flavor) packs during the ride!

This is the plan.........:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:8-[8-[8-[8-[8-[8-[

I just discovered my 'recovery' dinner...though this monster may cause way more damage than recovery. Behold - The Sandwich of Knowledge



The lower tier consists of eight pieces of bacon, six sausages, and four burger patties. The middle tier is all black pudding, and the upper tier has two sliced chicken breasts and six fried eggs. The tomatoes are purely decorative.

My god, who comes up with this stuff?

 

I'm guessing the same people who came up with...



Yummm... any chance I can get some fried eggs, rice and gravy to go with my burger at WHT. Of course, I need to get to WHT..

 

I think i'll snarf one of those down at 5:15am or so...a nice light little breakfast, won't bog me down at all. Just got to make sure they include the macaroni salad, it goes so well with my morning coffee.

 

I will be close to Gene.

I don't have a plan per se, but this is what I'll have with me.

A cambelbak full of water
Enough Gu20 powder for 3 bottles
> 4 Gu Bloks
> 3 gels of some sort
2 Cliff Bars
Salt tabs for in the rare scenario that I cramp
And whatever I can get my grubby hands on at a station

Good luck, and I'll see everyone out there tomorrow.

 

Thanks for this. I added one of the free samples from Temecula for just before the ride starts.

 

I just ate
6 tortillas
salad
chicken with vegetables
1 glass of milk
A piece of bread

I had an In in Out for lunch

I will drink another glass of milk with a banana to hopefully get 4 hours of sleep at least.

 

Ha!

I met your friend Rich(?, I suck at names) at Aliso last September and he said to just sign up for the CC and fuel myself with water and red salted potatoes.

 

I just finished cleaning everything up from yesterday. I had planned on drinking 6 bottles for the day (VQ), I only drank 3. #-o So I consumed 3 bottles, with 1.5 scoops of Perpetuem and a scoop of Heed in each one, approximately 8-10 Gu's, and 4 Shot Blocks (2/3 of a packet). No wonder I was suffering so miserably up Trabuco and WHT.

What did everyone else consume?

 

About 1/5 of the food I brought along. Former Boy Scout, being over prepared is a hard habit to break I guess. ](*,)
