Fuel for success

As the seasons change, you're facing cooler training sessions. Cooler weather means your body is reacting and working differently when you exercise. Are you fueling your body to deal with the cold and still function effectively on every ride without compromising your riding performance?

Whether you're a professional, avid, or beginner cyclist, our bodies all react the same way. Riding in cold weather burns more energy than usual as your body uses fuel to keep your core temperature stable, and your organs protected. As a result, you need to eat and drink more on the bike when it's cold compared to warmer days. It's crucial to have a nutrition plan.

When you're training in the cold, choose foods that are easily chewable and digestible, and that won't be affected by the cold. Avoid hard, dense foods that can freeze, to ensure that you stay hydrated and nourished on every ride.
