I encounter a wide variety of cyclists—women, men, juniors, racers, beginners, dirt, road, and endurance riders—but many of the questions I get asked are similar, if not entirely the same.
It’s the time of year when many of us struggle with maintaining consistent training routines due to family commitments, foul weather, and abundance of delicious pies.
Here at Enduro Bites we have a pretty specific philosophy about food: eat with a purpose. There are a lot of people who train to be able to eat more donuts, ice cream, candy, or other junk food.
When creating Enduro Bites, I experimented with practically every carbohydrate source I could find, looking to make an appetizing bar without spiking glucose levels or leading to that inevitable “rot gut”. I eventually settled on honey as one of our carbohydrate sources, and you’ll see it on every Enduro Bites' ingredient list.Â

Summer is around the corner, which means the weather should soon be ideal for plenty of long, hard rides. After a hard day in the saddle it’s important to consume carbohydrates and protein soon after finishing to take advantage of the “glycogen replenishment window.”
