Finding yourself with cravings means that you are behind in nutritional needs. When dealing with more extreme riding conditions, this a definite handicap. Catching up with nutritional needs is always more of a bilogical stressor than staying even.

What we're looking for is an optimal level of body nutrition that we can absorb and that will require the least amount of load on our system in order to process it. This will increase our ability to perform and reduce our body stress and fatigue. For me that means using quality vitamin supplements and sports nutrition products as well as quality energy drinks.

In choosing the right suplementation, I look for products that are formulated for more extreme actvity levels and biological needs. Many sport supplements and even energy drinks are aimed to the general population doing average activities. This is not optimal when applied to more extreme needs. And riding motorcycles in high heat for hours on end qualifies as more extreme. Look around and read labels. You'll see the difference. That's what I do.
