In this episode, Molly sits down with Bay Area cyclist and YouTuber Carolyn—aka Bike with Carolyn—to unpack the art (and science) of fueling for long-distance rides. From bloating and reflux to sugar crashes and sour gummy worms, no topic is off-limits.
Carolyn shares her fueling journey from rookie mistakes to dialing in a system that works for her 100-mile+ weekend rides. We cover everything from gut training, hydration strategies, and FODMAPs, to pre-ride breakfasts, recovery meals, and even late-night hunger pangs.
Whether you're a new cyclist or a seasoned endurance athlete, you’ll walk away with practical tips to fuel smarter—without upsetting your stomach.
