DO YOU RIDE A BIKE? SO YOU KNOW...

...nutrition is your average speed. The rest is your watts and your ability not to come to a stop at km 80.

THE 4 STRUGGLES THAT MAKE YOU EXPLODE (EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE GOOD LEGS)

By bike, you can "last" a long time… until your tank runs empty. And then, the power collapses. The right nutrition plan is not a bonus: it’s what allows you to stay strong from start to finish.

THE HUNGER (AND THE FALL OF POWER)

On a 2–6 hour outing, you continuously burn glycogen. If you underfeed, the machine goes into economy mode.
CONSEQUENCE
Empty legs, inability to restart, endless return.
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Regular carbohydrate intake (bars/gels/compotes/drinks) from the start, not when it's too late.

IMPOSSIBLE TO CHEW WHEN IT HITS

Vent, rhythm, intensity, rough terrain in mountain biking... sometimes you just don't have the time (or the clarity) to eat solid food.
CONSEQUENCE
If you skip the contributions, you accumulate the deficit.
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Fluid textures (gels/compotes) and effort drink for "eating while drinking."

Dehydration + Loss of Electrolytes

Transpiration + dry air + long effort = significant losses. Additionally, when mountain biking, you can forget to drink.
CONSEQUENCE
Cramps, decrease in power, heat stroke, slower recovery.
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Hydration drink/electrolytes + regular sipping routine.

BAD TIMING: YOU EAT TOO LATE (OR TOO MUCH AT ONCE)

Many await hunger. Except that by bike, hunger comes after the energy debt.
CONSEQUENCE
Nausea, inputs that no longer pass.
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Split and anticipate: small doses every 15–30 minutes.

EXIT GUIDE

NUTRITION ON A BIKE THAT WORKS (FOR 2H AS FOR 6H)

The bike has an advantage: you can eat more easily than when running. The trap: forgetting to do it. Here is a simple, tested, and especially reproducible strategy.

Tested over thousands of kilometers

H-3 TO H-10MIN — LEAVE FULL, NOT WEIGHTED

H-3 to H-2
  • Carbohydrate-rich meal, easy to digest (rice/pasta/bread) + a bit of protein
  • Avoid excess fiber and fat if you are sensitive
H-30MIN
  • 1 energy bar Mulebar if needed (or 1 applesauce if you prefer liquid)
D-10MIN
A few sips of energy drink to start
💡
THE REFLEX
By bike, the most effective plan is the one you can stick to without thinking about it: timer / time markers / habits.

EVERY 15–30 MINUTES — STAY CONTINUOUSLY POWERED

Durée Quoi manger Timing Produits
< 2h Simple contributions + hydration 1 prize / 30min Bars + drink
2–4h Regularity + solid/liquid alternation 1 prize / 20–30min Bars + gels/compotes
4h+ Increase consistency (especially heat/intensity) 1 prize / 15–25min Gels + energy drink
✅
GOLDEN RULES
  • Starts within the first 20 minutes
  • Alternate textures (bar/gel/compote) to avoid nausea
  • Drink small amounts frequently (not 1 liter at once)

WINDOW 0–2H — RECOVER TO CONTINUE

0–30MIN
  • Carbohydrates + proteins (recharge + repair)
  • 1 Mulebar protein bar + hydration
30MIN–2H
  • Complete meal + hydration + electrolytes if it's very hot
24H
Sleep + proteins + hydration: the recovery that no one negotiates
★★★★★

I consume energy bars and gels during my road bike, gravel, mountain bike, and running outings. I appreciate the products from the Mulebar range because they suit me perfectly, I digest them without issues, and they provide me with the necessary energy during my efforts.

THE CYCLING RANGE

BIKE SUPPLY, EVERYTHING IS HERE

Before, during, after: you don't need 100 products. You need the right formats at the right time — and consistency.

Before the effort

Before a workout, the goal is to fill up on energy without feeling heavy. An energy bar provides a gradual boost, ideal if you head out early or if you continue after work.

During effort < 3h

Over 1 to 3 hours, you can alternate between solid and liquid. The bars are easy to consume on the go, while gels/applesauces are better as the intensity increases.

During effort > 3h

Over the long term, the key is consistency. The effort drink allows you to provide energy continuously, and the gels/applesauces supplement when you can no longer chew.

After effort (within 2 hours – metabolic window)

After that, you replenish glycogen and start muscle recovery. Proteins + carbohydrates + hydration: this is what allows you to have a good session the next day.

I use individual gels with a cap for multiple feedings during road cycling races. Preference for cherry or lemon ginger flavors.

Excellent products. Tested for the first time in competition (I had tested during training before) at a cycling event last weekend: no hypoglycemia, no cravings, no stomach aches. Pleasant taste and convenient.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CYCLING / MTB

From when should one eat during an outing?
As soon as possible: within the first 20 minutes. The goal is to avoid energy debt, not to catch up on it.

Bar or gel?

On moderate intensity, the bar works well. When it speeds up, when it's hot, or during mountain biking, the gel/compote is often simpler.

I'm not hungry while biking, is that normal?
Yes. But the absence of hunger does not mean that you do not need energy. Set time markers for yourself.

Effort drink or water?

Water = hydration. Sports drink = hydration + energy + electrolytes. Over the long term, the sports drink makes consistency much easier.

Why do I cramp at the end of a workout?
Muscle fatigue + hydration + electrolytes + intensity: everything matters. What helps the most: drink regularly + provide sodium + do not under-eat.

How to avoid the sickening feeling of sweetness?
Vary the textures (bar/gel/compote) and break them down. And above all: test during training, not on the day.
