According to her example, a 140 lb. woman would consume the following, if eating 2 hrs. before the start of a ride: 140 lbs / 2.2 (lbs per kilogram) = 64 kg 64 kg x 2 (hrs) = 128 grams carbohydrate. YMMV. I attended a bike-club presentation on nutrition some months ago, and the nutritionist had put pre-ride nutrition into a formula to be used as a guideline:
