Blake will be taking on 5 stages of gnarly technical downhill sections linked together by gruelling climbs on the liaison stages. - Is it possible to race on a hardtail?

@twowheelsperth8240 2 жыл бұрын
What works quite well to prevent cramping is having small amount of regular coke or pepsi (not the diet version) throughout the ride. They contain Quinine which is generally used for treatment of cramps. You can dilute it with a bit of water or let it sit overnight in a cup to get rid of the fiz. Does the trick for me when doing 100km+ road rides or longer trail rides. A few triathlete friends of mine will use this little trick during their events. Tonic water is also the other option, but coke and pepsi have the extra sugars(liquid carbs) that will aid the muscles. Not healthy drinks for everyday consumption but for long rides or big events, it has good benefits.
@thebluelion3337 2 жыл бұрын
Regular pepsi and coke are quite common in pro pelotons as well. As you said, they have the right combo of caffeine, sugar and hydration to make it a decent option on a bike. However, they don't contain quinine any more (tonic water does though - it's the bitter flavour you associate with tonic water)
@sendyboiii7 2 жыл бұрын

@chimps4gimps 2 жыл бұрын
Coke is also great for settling/protecting the stomach. I used to drink it during Tees Barrage kayak sessions. The water quality is a bit sketchy there.
@radiocontrolled9181 2 жыл бұрын
Regular Coke is the best digestive drink I found. After a heavy meal I drink one regular Coke and it works like magic. Thank you for this comment. I will probably start diluting half a 330ml can of Coke in my water bottle on my bike rides now, although I rarely experience cramps. I just love regular Coke. I buy mine from LIDL supermarket, the 330ml red cans.

Cramps? One of the most effective things to do is to make sure you are taking Magnesium supplements. You have to do this BEFORE you go out on big rides, not during. Tonic and salt tablets do work on the trail, but I think prevention is preferable. Careful with the Magnesium capsules though - too many, and they act as a laxative 😂

Congrats Blake. That was awesome. Love the hardtail content. Hardtail is life. To help prevent cramps, you are partially correct with potassium. Electrolyte powders to mix in with your water will help(at a minimum they should contain potassium, magnesium, and salt). I usually drink one the day before any strenuous activity, and one to two during. When you drink lots of water it dilutes your electrolyte levels, so you need to replenish them.

Like you said you definitely won’t be the fastest but it sure is fun… to a point.

Blake ur the only guy i know as crazy as me!! I just ran my 1st enduro race last wknd 1540m elevation 35kms of 4 stages & it was on my built Giant Talon 3 hardtail !! I also only packed 2 clif bars lol & legs were toast cramping like never before !! It's the rider not the bike & u prove it everytime!! Awesome dude!!

GMBN and Blake are such a nice contrast to all those "New / Max out / latest technology" YT/Insta etc chanel's. Thanks for not just saying stuff like "It's about the rider not only the hardware" but proofing it. After showing this to a few of my friends they went from "I only got a hardtail" to "I got a hardtail" and that's just great. Keep it up Hardtail Hero Blake.
