How to take rice cakes and bars with you on tour
Homemade bars, banana bread and rice cakes are delicious energy boosters on MTB tours. We show you how to pack these freshly baked treats in a practical way.

Home-baked bars are best packaged in portions immediately after production and frozen. This means they keep for a long time and can be used as required. Simply take them out of the freezer the morning before your MTB tour or training session and pack them in your jersey pocket or rucksack. The energy boosters are usually defrosted by the time you eat them.

Baking paper or greaseproof paper, aluminium foil or special paper foil are suitable for packing. With the following packing technique, the bars can be easily removed from their wrapping when travelling.

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
