[QUOTE="kaitsdad, post: 275631, member: 1222"] FWIW - A few jumping jacks in the wee hours of the morning can do wonders for alertness - push ups, or as in last year's SPANK rally, dance the funky chicken by the side of the road at 2:00 AM. And a SS1K shouldn't be so long that you would need to rely on stimulants (for that matter, NO RIDE is so long that you need stimulants) At most, a cup of coffee or a diet coke somewhere along the way - but remember, caffeine is a diuretic - so it has it's down side. If you drink it, ensure that you have enough water to chase it with. Important to me on a ride - managing blood sugar levels - small snacks along the way - bananas, 1/4 sized PBJ sandwiches, PB Crackers - maybe a piece of hard candy. Try to balance carbs with proteins and fats. This reduces the sugar crash from the carbs. Eat BEFORE you are hungry, and most important - DRINK YOUR WATER. STAY HYDRATED !! I find that I can function quite well for a long time doing this. But - that's just my personal experience. If you want to use an energy drink AFTER the ride, that's cool - but personally, I just want a good meal, a hot shower, and a fluffy pillow. [/QUOTE]
