Oatmeal porridge (100g oats, 3.5% fat milk 200g) with tsp of honey or 50g of jam. Which converts roughly to 650KCal. Followed by cappuccino and one espresso additionally. So not that much for 100km. Normally take a glucose gel and stop on the middle for a pastry with another coffee.

The evening before, its a good bowl of pasta and chicken. The morning of the ride, it's either granola and yoghurt or porridge.

I eat normally, but 30mins before a ride, I'll gulp down a coffee and sprite, separately of course! Food and rest stops are plentiful here, so there is no real need to bring food on the bike, just stop and eat.

Jamie is one of the most entertaining and erudite non-cycling guests you've had on the channel. Bring on the hill challenge I say.

Every time GCN brings in an athlete from a non-cycling discipline for a challenge, the video never fails to amaze me and make me smile/laugh throughout. This video is no exception. So very enjoyable.

Loved this video, Jamie is such a nice person a great sport for taking part in this. He rides with the same club as me and did our track day a few weeks ago, I got paired with him in our head to head sprint challenge, he has some serious power output!

Great seeing Jamie again! It's refreshing to have someone that isn't a cyclist per say but can provide some insight in various other health/physical related activities. Can't wait to see that hill climb video!

As someone who came from a bodybuilding background and is now leaning into endurance sports (a very popular buzz atm) can I just say these videos are some of my favourite GCN puts out! And I’ve been subscribed for years!

It's cool that strength athletes are starting to realise that cardio can be a lot more than just the stuff you need to go through while cutting.

"I'm literally not the biggest fan of eating" I wish I was like that haha.

Ok. I want the cherry bakewell slice.😂 Absolutely agree that fueling (and fuel choice) is a full time job in itself. Like Hank, I under-fuel, but learned the hard way by paying the price in competition (bonked miserably). Definitely want to see the hill challenge and bicep routine!!👍💪

When GCN released the first video with Hank, one comment greeted him with words like "GCN got muscles".

So cool to see Jamie on this channel….

As a bodybuilder myself, even tho just amateur and not on the dose of Steroids an Open Level Bodybuilder is on, eating 5000-8000 Calories in carbs is so much easier than consuming it overall and getting 300-500g of Protein in as well. Because protein is keeping you so damn full that it becomes hard to eat at some point.

Its cool the body builder has become the homie

loved this . Would be really interesting to see the same video but with a vegan body builder

Love these light heart when is hank going body building awesome gents 😊

Next episode: Hank start Jamie cycle :D

Hanks biceps is not so bad to be honest with you. Please make that uphill battle happen. That would be the best video on the channel ever.

Reckon if you’d put Si’s ankles against Jamies’s biceps there’d have been a closer match than Hank’s biceps. ❤

Hank, GCN's biggest biceps, still dwarfed by Giant.

Man the bodybuilding days .. what a pleasure it was. Training arms for 1 hour and then devouring some food post workout. Good life. Now we suffer for hours to an end and have to eat energy gels and bars on the bike.

Jamie's totally hilarious and a great presenter! I have to say, though, this was a pretty uneven competition. How could "little" Hank handle Jamie's big breakfast? Need to get Conor in on the action!!

Type 1 diabetic here. Fueling starts the night before with a high carb meal. Breakfast is 100g porridge or 4 weetabix On the bike snack every 20-30 minutes on a few jelly babies or cereal bar depending on efforts and 2 bottles of drink on bike. 1 bottle with 120g of white sugar mixed with squash and the other bottle normal squash. As you can see I consume a lot of carbs as a T1D but on the bike it’s all fuel. I carry my injection with me just in case it creeps up a little but most of the time on a 120km ride the bloods stay just where I need them to be to be energized

My Secret to 100 Miles is Actually a Full English Breakfast, Toast x 2 Fried Bread x 1 x Bacon x 3 Sausage x 2 Black pudding, Beans, Mushrooms, Tomato's, 1 pint of orange juice, followed by 1 pint of crushed ice water.

Its just like watching Twins the film

Maybe the big diesels who are pulling the peloton along nearly all day might need 8000kcal a day but the sub 60kg GC guys definitely don't! During a 5hr stage, they might burn 3000kcal and their BMR would be around 1500kcal so they only need 4500kcal for the day. If it's a flat sprinters day, the GC guys are literally coasting all day so probably only need 3000kcal on those days. Remember they're basically laying down when they're not on the bike.

It would have been nice to see him cycle along with you.

Would have been interesting to see the total macros of each meal

Bring on that hill challenge please?
