Tired of Bars 🍫
I get tired of bars as ride food. Now that I’ve been using them almost daily for some months, bars have become monotonous. Now that the weather is warm — OK, hot — bars are messy. They melt! But I need to eat during long rides!
I’m not sure what to take instead for ride food. Will sandwiches made of bologna or salami be risky in the heat? Even if I make them without mayonnaise? Rice cakes, as presented in Feed Zone Portables? I’ve tried them; and I must be doing something wrong. My rice cakes come out sticky; and they tend to be too soft. The rice also sticks to my teeth; and drives me crazy.
So even though I’m tired of bars, I’ll continue to use them until I can figure out something else.
Something Else 🤔
“Something else”, unfortunately, has a broad definition.
Gels? I don’t want to fuel a ride of several hours on gels alone. I’m not sure my stomach would take to it very well. Sandwiches, as mentioned above? Maybe; if I can find a way to keep them cool. Sandwiches are bulky, too.
Feed Zone Portables is about much more than rice cakes; but I don’t have the ingredients needed for, say, their two-bite pies. I also don’t want to turn the kitchen into an oven by making things that require baking.
I might have to, though — I’m getting tired of bars!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
