A day doesn't pass at Gran Fondo without several customers consulting us about what to eat for maximum performance on the bike.
Yes, we have those rides when it's Clif bars and Shot Bloks, and we sell all those Hammer products, but every serious cyclist must embrace coffee shop ride nutrition to reach the highest levels of this sport.

Your favorite pie and a glass of ice tea could get you out of bed on a gray Saturday with a chance of rain...

If you don't have at least one or more rides each week that include pie or sticky buns, then you're in danger of overtraining and losing one of the great joys of riding a bike.

It's one of Mr. Gran Fondo's greatest quotes, "No one ever got fat from what they ate on their bike rides..."
Of course, you might find yourself in the outer reaches of Maury County and you might need to look for the best nutrition at Mr. Fly's store in Fly, Tennessee. In this case, grab the Snickers bar or maybe the Lance Peanut Bar.

Note these ingredients - Pure and simple...

Be sure that you never buy sports nutrition bars in a rural store -
- 1) they will be stale
- 2) they are overpriced and
- 3) the candy bar will be cheaper, better, and more satisfying.
Of course, we do highly recommend always having a Grab the Gold bar in your jersey pocket.
And never leave home without a good breakfast including a whole grain and peanut butter...
