I know this topic has come up in the past, but looking for opinions on using the 2017 Ogre as a gravel grinder for a 130km event with gravel, paved, double and single track. It has the Moloko bars which have a lot of…
You need real food and electrolytes. I went through all kinds of fluid/gel/bar combos and the winner for me is: NUUN tablets in water, probar bars (350 calories per bar) or homemade chocolate/peanut butter balls with…
