As the title says. I’m planning on doing my first century in July. Several +50km rides behind me at the moment and averaging about 100km a week since spring. How much food should I pack? Do you guys use sports drinks etc for hydration? Any surprises I shouls know comparing the ride to shorter ones?

Thank you in advance :)

    Hmm. I think just bring some small snacks, some cookies or chocolate bars and eat something real in the middle of it. I don’t think you need a sports drink, water is fine although a coke sometimes feels extra fine. If you want to bring a sports drink, bring it, but aren’t those just differently marketed sugary drinks?
