A few years ago, I kept getting dropped on rides.

Not because I wasn’t training.

Not because I didn’t care.

Not because I wasn’t strong enough.

But because I kept bonking.

I’d roll out feeling good… hang on for an hour or two… then suddenly it was like someone had unplugged me.

No power. No legs. Just that horrible empty feeling where you’re pedalling but going nowhere.

And the worst part?

I thought that was normal.

When I first started cycling, my “nutrition strategy” was basically this:

Eat something small before the ride.

Take one bottle.

Maybe shove a bar in my pocket.

Hope for the best.

I was massively under-fuelling.

So I’d limp home absolutely starving. I’d open the fridge and eat whatever I could get my hands on. Toast. Cereal. Leftovers. Snacks. Anything.

Then I’d feel guilty about it.

I thought the answer was more discipline.

In reality, the problem was fuel.

Because I wasn’t eating properly on the bike, I couldn’t hold the pace. I couldn’t recover properly.

I was constantly exhausted. And that post-ride binge-restrict cycle made it almost impossible to manage my weight consistently.

I’d train hard…

Underperform…

Overeat…

Feel frustrated…

Repeat.

It wasn’t until I actually learned the principles of fuelling properly on the bike that everything changed.

When I started eating enough carbs during rides…

When I timed my fuelling properly…

When I stopped being scared of eating on the bike…

I stopped bonking.

I could sustain the pace.

I recovered faster.

I didn’t come home ravenous.

My weight became easier to manage.

And for the first time, I could stay lean and strong all year round, not just in short bursts.

The lesson?

Performance nutrition isn’t about eating less.

It’s about eating correctly.

That’s exactly why I created the Eat to Ride Guide Nutrition Masterclass.

Inside it, I break down the exact principles I now use myself and with my cyclists, so you don’t have to spend years making the same mistakes I did.

You’ll learn:

– How many carbs do you actually need per hour on the bike

– How to fuel long rides without stomach issues

– How to recover properly so you’re not raiding the kitchen

– How to use on-bike nutrition to support weight loss instead of sabotaging it

If you want to stop getting dropped because of fuel…

If you’re tired of bonking halfway through rides…

If you want to perform better and manage your weight consistently…

Don’t learn this the hard way as I did.
