Raw or cooked: Have a cooked dinner with fresh vegies thrown into the pot. It is easier to digest cooked food, and after a day's cycling this matters. Also, it's relaxing to watch a billy boil.   kellyjones00 (593)

Budget Tour Tip #3: Stop for a break in an attractive public park near to others. You can learn a bit from the locals, exchange tips with other tourists, offer some of your food, and might get an interesting change to your diet.   kellyjones00 (593)

Budget Tour Tip #4: Add about 300 calories per hour of exercise to your basic daily quota. But more exercise = more body repair = more calories = $$$ = more stress = shorter tour.   kellyjones00 (593)
