there is a journal article about a morbidly obese guy who didnt eat anything for over a year. He lost about .7 pounds per day. His doctors supplemented with vitamins and electrolytes. Once you can get past a few days of fasting supposedly it gets easier.

I wasnt able to ride the last eb I trained for. At the time I was doing a keto diet. I think you would need to do a keto diet in advance to train your body to be comfortable burning fat instead of carbs. Even though I was keto, I still felt like I needed some gu's. I tried eating coconut oil from packs and peanut butter, but it just wasnt quite enough. Being in keto means easy spinning was fine, but I felt like I was having trouble with the bursts to get up climbs or ledges. Too many goos make me sick, peanut butter and jelly, plus a few gus worked well for me. Pringles or other salty food helps too. I also reached the point during my training that I couldnt drink sugary drinks so I stuck with water mostly

this for sure. I have started doing 3+ hour rides to prep for the eb and my feet have started going numb. Havent done long rides since I switched to time pedals.

Unfortunately getting miles riding on the road is the best way. i like doing walnut ->bcgb main trail, HOL, 360, courtyard, jester, yaupon, walnut start adding in bcgb, city park, thumper, st eds, walnut as the ride becomes easier. I was slow the year I finished, but only managed to get 4 big training rides in the month before. The biggest ride was 60 miles I think.

When will ride calls for the EB start?
