Best Answer

In terms of nutrition it's no difference between MTBing and any other endurance sport. If you really want to prep for a (long) ride, look up carbo-loading as done by marathon runners, triathletes and similar. Otherweise, just have a light snack and you're good to go.

There's nothing special about a long bike ride when compared to other periods of hard physical work. Before the ride you should try to get plenty of carbs(hint: pasta) then as you ride you just have to figure out what your system can take. Rolls with peanut butter are high in energy and fairly easy to eat while riding. Bananas are also very practical. Various cereal/nut bars are also good. Don't forget to keep hydrated.
