To a mere ordinary cyclists, looking in nutrition is a bit of a fath. Or so I thought. Good for you to home in on your recent dip. Sounds like a good improvement, and to pick up a sponsorship is even better..I struggle with some bars as well. Good luck. Last year I Bonked out the KAW afte 3/4 of it...not realising food is a big factor ( I go off my food when I exercise) now I'm older I have to overcome that. So last week, I finished off my last 1/4 . Eating and drinking regularly, and my loop starts and finished on the SDW. I added 6 miles of the SDW as it is such an enjoyable ride. Looking forward to your next film and I will try a some of these bars. Atb Grant 👍.
great news Andy and well deserved for you and the channel - veloforte products are really good - awesome to see you out on the MTB, looking forward to the video of the ride - the SDW is tough, loads of technical climbs and overgrown stinging nettles at the mo - but remember 1 off road mile = 3 on road miles and a ton more smiles - and usually ends up with a recovery pint :) cheers, ride on!
Awesome, I think for what your doing in endurance cycling Velo forte is an almost perfect choice. Should be easy on the stomach, digest well and be sustainable for those multi day events where a gel would wreck your gut on top of everything else you mentioned. Thanks for supporting the channel @veloforte
Congratulations Andy and thanks for your continued work and sharing your results! I tried the Veloforte Energy Chews earlier this year and found that they were the best that I had ever used (comparing against Clif Blocks which I like a lot as well and PowerBar Powergel Shots which I don't care for). The Veloforte chews taste like you are indulging in a decadent candy. I have not tried the Veloforte Performance Bars yet, however, I am very keen to do so based on my previous experience with the brand and your recommendation.
Hey mate, glad to hear that, I’ve tried the bars this far but the chews do look very tasty, I’ll have to request some of those I think, the bars are lovely
Nice one Andy 😊 I don't know this brand so thanks for introducing them,as I like you wish to put something more substantial into my body other then pure sugar. Great to see you on the mtb and in my back garden 😉
Hi Andy, great video again. Haven't heard of the bars but I might give him a try but moving forward, what sort of fuelling are you going to use for the transcontinental cuz you won't be able to carry all those bars around with you. Be interesting to hear what you your views are on that.
Hey mate, they’re very good. That said like in the video I expect I’ll use them on longish rides, where I can carry it all. But you’re right, in ultra races you can’t carry everything so will need to just survive. But I’ll just carry as much as I can to start and will give me a good base to begin with 😬
Love your videos Andy! Out of curiosity, I noticed that you use Deda aerobars on your road bike. What model do you have? Are you happy with it? And did you have to adjust your bike fit once you got them? I've recently done a bike fit and now I'm thinking of adding some clip on aerobars to my endurance road bike. Sorry for too many questions :)
No problem thanks for watching. They’re parabolica. I didnt change my fit but made sure I had risers to raise them up. Too low previously gave me issues with achilles tendinitis 👍
Great news mate. Out of curiosity did you try Styrkr products? I noticed you mentioned rice based. I've used them for a year now and found them to be effective but you make a good point about additional positive ingredients

Well done Andy on your sponsorship deal, well deserved and it sounds like you’ve got yourself a good partner there in Veloforte 👍
Thanks bud, yeah a very good partner indeed 😁
It's going to be a really exciting summer and we can't wait to support the journey 🔥
Thanks again folks, such good products for the riding I do so I feel lucky you want to help 😁
Congratulations to both you & Veloforte - truly deserved.
Really really pleased for you.
Thanks my man 😁
Well done Andy! I love velo forte nutrition. Everything is delicious, especially the chews!
You’re the second person to say that, I’ve gotta try those 😁
That's great news for the channel, Andy!
Mountain bike ride....! Looking forward to that.

I agree with you, rumour has it our Social Media Manager may have the FKT 👀
Hey mate, yeah was a great ride and really pleased with this partnership 😁
Well done Andy. Big step forward for you and your channel. On ride fuelling really helps post ride energy levels for me too.
Thankyou mate 😁

Really enjoying your channel, Andy! Congrats on the new affiliation! I’ll have to give their bars a try.
Do it mate 😁 thanks for watching too
I use Veloforte - my fav. bar is the Hazelnut, Coffee and Cocoa 👍
Mocha is always a fan favourite! Keep up the good work 🤗
I haven’t tried that one actually I like anything coffee flavoured generally 😁

@@theroadprovides for TCR fuel well through day, eat well at the end of day and find cheap good hotels to rest up mate, thanks 20%
Cheers buddy fuel will be crazy important 😬
