If I’m feeling disciplined, SiS REGO (Strawberry)
If the sun is over the yard arm, I like a Guiness.
Otherwise I’m kind of hooked on Fanta, since first doing Attacker years ago.
Non-alcoholic beer, especially Guinness 0.0%! Tastes “close enough” to the real thing to be fully enjoyable as a drink and no performance guilt the next day.
As this tour goes on, I suspect this drink will evolve into Guinness + espresso or a Guinness float to keep the energy levels sufficiently topped off.
Chocolate milk and some Nuun immediately after the ride. I generally do my riding first thing in the morning, so more adult beverages wait til later in the day. Right now, that’s Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Extra IPA, though I might have to find myself some Guinness to properly celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!!
When I’m serious about it, I make a shake with 50% kefir, 50% vanilla soy milk, and a small scoop of vanilla whey powder. Tastes like a vanilla shake from a fast-food chain.
