Breakfast of Cycling Champions Contest
Send us a photo of your cycling inspired breakfast, or a description of what fuels you best….and Win.
This is a fun little contest suggested to us by our friends over at Bike2Power, and I thought it was a pretty dang great idea. I’m a firm believer that a great breakfast starts your day off on the right track and I’m looking forward to the fun photos and breakfast ideas that you all have. I also believe that All Cyclists are Champions….so this is a perfect combination for a contest.
Get creative and have fun with your creations…photos will be judged on level of creativity, design, and how it portrays cycling. Written submissions should describe your idea of the ultimate breakfast and why you feel it helps your cycling. Recipes can also be included as well.

In case you have no clue as to what a Bike2Power LightCharge ultra light dual-mode charger is, I thought I better provide a little information on it so that you know what you’re in the running for with your entry.
LightCharge Product Features
“LightCharge is a compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient bicycle usb charger for LED bicycle lights and mobile devices. Italian-made and designed, LightCharge was conceived with a performance cyclist in mind. It is exceptionally lightweight, weighing less than 2 ounces (50 grams with cable). The product comes with a bottle dynamo cap that reduces friction and drag effect to a minimum. This hyper-efficient bike charger begins charging at easily achievable 8 mi/hr (13 km/ hr); with a dynamo cap, at 10 mi/hr (16 km/hr).
In addition, the built-in overvoltage protection makes LightCharge a safe and efficient bike phone charger option. LightCharge can be used to charge bike lights and mobile devices. Easily switch between charging a bike light or a mobile device with a push of a button; bike lights can be hardwired or simply plugged into a USB port, depending on a rider’s preference.”
This entry was e-mailed in from Joel Phillips (Reasons2Ride). Joel says: “All week during ride the Rockies, the pancake wagon was packed up and gone by the time Bethel and I arrived at the aid stations….The last day however, we were able to enjoy the sweet syrupy scrumptiousness only a pancake can deliver…”
Another e-mail submission…this time from Heide Rewerts. Heide says, “Eggs, grits, biscuits, and chick-fil-a chicken. Need I say more.”
This submission was e-mailed in from Ryan Werenka. He says, “It is a half cup of Quinoa with Strawberries, Blueberries and Blackberries. It is surprisingly filling, loaded with nutrients and easy to digest. Everything a cyclist needs to fuel up for a ride. I had this and a good cup of coffee prior to a 55 mile ride last Sunday and it did the trick. “
I didn’t create this one, but think it is a great cycling breakfast picture.
Along with coffee I think some hole wheat toast and some peanut butter is a good way to get started.
My cycling breakfast consists of oatmeal and eggs. Just like many others I also have coffee with this.
My cycling breakfast consists of shredded chicken covered in my special rice (Brown rice with broccoli, cut green beans and corn) laced with ketchup and a very good helping of chopped hot peppers on top. (my favorites are fingerling hots or serranos). Add a side my wife’s very special zucchini cakes (also with ketchup and hot peppers). Aha… I’m hungry just typing this up.
Congratulations, G…..you’ve been selected as the third place winner in our Breakfast of Cycling champions contest. Please contact us at [email protected] so we can get your prize to you.
My breakfast of champions is oatmeal with blueberries mixed in. I usually have coffee with it and if I’ll be riding soon after then I also knock back a gel before taking off as well. If I’m really hungry I might have a bar along with the oatmeal. It always works for me.
That is the best looking breakfast I’ve ever seen! I wish I could eat like that before riding to work every morning.
This is my go-to breakfast: Steel cut oats, berries, peanut butter, almond milk and flax meal. Keeps me full fairly well, which seems to be the challenge lately. (http://goo.gl/ECjgR)
My ultimate breakfast to make sure I have a good ride is two poached eggs, one slice of whole grain toast, and a large cup of coffee. It is a light and nutritious breakfast and it always provides me with the energy I need to ride my bike. I also make sure to eat this at least an hour before I ride so that my stomach feels okay
