With temperatures rising, it's a good time to remember to refrigerate your Enduro Bites to maintain their fresh-made, mouthwatering taste. Like other fresh, preservative-free foods, Enduro Bites should be refrigerated if you don't plan on eating them within a few weeks of purchase. For long-term storage – a few months or more – freezing is appropriate.
One of Enduro Bites’ defining characteristics is that they are handcrafted daily in small batches. This guarantees you get the freshest endurance food possible. And, no surprise, fresh food tastes better.
Getting your nutrition dialed for cross race can be trickier than you might think. Races are relatively short, but they are also incredibly intense. The only thing I've encountered that comes close to their physical intensity are short-track mountain bike races, but even they are not quite as vomit inducing. Sprinting over barriers and up steep hills by foot as commonly encountered during cross races pushes the intensity level through the roof. You need glycogen stores to be at maximum to fuel these and other anaerobic efforts, but you also don't want much food in your stomach come race time. That is, unless you want to be distracted from going your fastest by burping up breakfast. It's not a pleasant feeling.
Once thought “unhealthy,” due to its highly-processed cousins, virgin coconut oil is now viewed as one of nature’s best fats by many nutritionists. It's also one of the key ingredients in Enduro Bites.
