Hey
Another novice here.

I was wondering, is there a general rule of things you need to keep replenishing during your rides? Obviously water and carbs but Im not too sure as to how much or when? Any tips or guides would be very much appreciated!

Cheers
Rueben

Excuse the rant but I felt compelled to share.

I was very busy out on the Perimeter and Long Tracks today everybody from Mum-n-Daugther to the boys clearing 4 metres off the water bars, horses, walkers you name it.

There was plenty of give and take on the trail with the vast majority of riders ensuring everyone had a great time .. but

On 2 occasions I was forced off the trail by riders 2 abreast coming at me who totally refused to yield. I also came up on one group riding 2 wide in the sandpit area, the irony was not 100m earlier was a sign saying keep left unless overtaking.
