Nutrition

There’s more to bike nutrition for kids than just providing energy for the ride. Your snacks need to be not only nutritious but also portable and tasty. Starting with a full tank is important but the longer your ride goes on you are going to be more dependent on the need to refuel as you cycle. Fueling properly is vital to get the most from your bike ride, and the body can only store a certain amount of energy, so you the longer you ride, the more you will need to top up your energy levels. The High5 Energy Gel Taster Pack is lightweight and portable, and comes in 5 different fruity flavours. They deliver carbohydrates straight to your muscles during your bike ride. High5 Zeros are small tablets which dissolve quickly in your drink, this means you can easily add it to your water bottle before you set out on your ride. They contain Vitamin C and electrolytes to replenish you as you ride. And just as important they contain no artificial colours or preservatives for your children.
