This is my first Dirt de Femme, and whilst as a Nutritionist I am no stranger to sports nutrition, I have only been riding for 12 months so it has been a steep learning curve as far as what does and does not work for me. However, good race nutrition is the difference between getting out there and having fun, or spending the entire event in the hurt locker, so its worth putting a bit of time into planning your ride.

I have joined forces with an awesome company who share the same values and goals as I do. As of this week I am a Brand Ambassador for Mountain Bikes Direct - your one stop shop for all the gear you and your family need to hit the trails.

It wasn't what I had eaten during the day, nor was it a difference in my sleep or my body being run down. It was my hormones. Sound familiar?
