Perfect Breakfast For Cycling | My Favorite Meal to Eat Before a Morning Ride
Thanks for hanging around. I wasn't "satisfied" with my riding, I thought I could do better. Then, when I turned 78 quite suddenly, I slowed up like I had dropped an anchor. I continue to ride, but I am now so slow that I prefer to ride alone. But at least I can ride without lying to myself such as buying an E-bike so that I can brag about my average speed. I still have a collection of bikes, but the focus has turned from carbon fiber to steel.
And to the point of your posting, I too find oatmeal with butter to be the best riding breakfast.
Awesome. Bob Roll has always been a loveable guy. Here’s just another example of why. Thanks Bobke for sharing.
my pleasure. thanks for watching
50 years of cycling and 16 years of amature racing I was always a fan of yours! Once again you advice is spot on. I always ate oatmeal or pancakes with peanut butter to save money for better bikes! Turns out there is no better fuel! You're the Best Bobke!
Good call on the oatmeal. I used steel cut oats and dried cranberries. Rocket fuel. Superior to flat cola any day.
Great video!!! I have been having this breakfast since 2000 when i first got into cycling!!! My recipe varies though - depending on the day, ride weather condition and etc. Sometimes chopped apples, or add bananas afterwards. Also a spoon of extra virgin olive oil instead of butter. Organic raw honey or maple syrup and a dash of sea salt. and of course the Italian stove top mocha espresso pot is an every morning affair!!! It is indeed the beast way to start your day period...
If you can enjoy something simple you will always have something to enjoy! I also do oatmeal for breakfast but use raisins. I enjoy you channel. Happy riding...🙂
Hi Bobke, I realize this is an old video so I’ve been under a rock for the last four years with a concussion. I’ve been a huge fan of you and all of your teammates since the late eighties. I live in Vancouver and have had the honour of competing with your mate Alex Nicholas Ernst Stieda in a crit , John Tomac at Mammoth Mountain worlds in 89. Trials,cross country,hill climb and a down hill. You at Silverstar mountain in sunny Okanagan for a World Cup on a mountain bike around 1995 I think. Nothing but fun! Oh ya, I’ve been riding and racing a team 7-11 Eddy Merckx Corsa extra since 1989 and nothing else baby. So,,, I have always been an advocate of the oatmeal breakfast for a ride. The plow horse went all day on oats. If I could comment about a Hot breakfast, warming your guts and hot coffee like tiger balm and Vaseline mix on the back of your knees stuff. An old friend of mine who was a top athlete, Olympic, world champ in judo, football star in Texas and I have always looked at the morning meal and the nights before meals. Our magic meal or food might be small sweet potatoes. Why are the Jamaicans so fast? It’s a magic food like fig newtons before they invented Power bars . There are so many varieties 🍠 because it is a complex carbohydrate , I believe it means every starch molecule has sugar connected so this releases slower and sustains your energy for hours not one hour from your bodies ability to store and release glucose. Also try a three egg omelette with a baked sweet potato. You can remove a yoke or two if it’s an amateur race distance. Other benefits are the fibre content to hold liquid from slouching around in your stomach. And if you get nervous and throw up before a race it will come out your nose easier than a bagel! We avoid dairy and wheat because of flem and non digestive protein in wheat for humans so stomach cramps and bad farts stuff for sure. I hope we can ride together one day and I will bring you a big slice of my wife’s home made banana bread it the turn around ! Please keep smiling and laughing and doing this stuff on CZcams for fun. If you are ever coming to the Pacific Northwest or in Vancouver I’ve got extra room , a bike stand in my garage , a bowl of oat meal and a big pot of hot coffee. Old school is the only school . My friends call me tailwinder or Johnny tailwind !
I love that laugh! Don't ever change, Bobke. 😊👍
I don't know why I've never tried adding the blueberries whilst it is still cooking, I always sprinkle them on top at the end. Looks tasty though I'll give it a try!
Bobke, verging on reality TV. Just observing that without judgement. In fact, your routine is inspiring. Why I keep returning.
I remember seeing photos of Ronan and that Softail Harley thanks for finishing the story. Liked his hairstyle, (You had the wildest hair by a long shot Bobke) and apart from Phil Anderson he had the biggest smile in the peloton. Please keep sharing the awesome memories Bobke!
2 grilled cheese sandwiches, 2 scrambled eggs, some hickory smoked maple bacon, 2 round sausage patties with grape jelly on top, coffe, and a cigarette just before my ride everyday.
Looks good. I discovered oatmeal is smoother if I put the oats in cold water, then bring to boil.
just made oatmeal for dinner
I use steel cut oats and reduce to it to a simmer and after it roiling boils for ~30 seconds
Love how spartan, but at the same time cool, your place looks.
very small rice/bean burrito with New Mexico's HATCH Green Chile, baby! you KNOW what ilg is talking about!! keep up the Bobke passion!
Oh yeah! Oatmeal, blue or blackberries, banana and kick ass coffee. World Class! Lp
Hey Bobke i dig your Hopper painting in the kitchen..big fan of his..I've copied a lot of his work..not that one..maybe i will now..Good luck dig the videos
I' ve never made oatmeal that way cooking the berries right in with the oats, I usually have whole wheat pancakes with blue berries cooked in with a couple of pieces of Canadian bacon. and of course coffee. my mother had copper bottom pans when I was growing up in the 60S
Just saw your video just yesterday Bob and we're eating your blueberry oatmeal this morning! Delicious! I added a little milk and brown sugar. My wife added some walnuts. The effervescent blueberry mud pot...gotta love it!!
I watched this during work and had to try it out tonight. It was awesome! I added a bunch of fruit and honey. Thanks for the post, I'm going to be trying this prior to my next big ride for sure (though, that next big ride is part of a stage race, so might not experiment!)
Bobke, I shared your enthusiasm for cycling (and oatmeal) again today by relaying this link to another coworker. It is one of my favorite videos on all of CZcams! Thank you! :)
Porridge is also great and stick to ribs like oatmeal and has great complex carbs.
Bob Bob Bob! Never put the blueberries in boiling oats! Smurf food! Berries in warm oats only!😉
How about taking us along for the ride sometime Bobke?
razz wilmz
I agree that would be great
Nice! Never saw oatmeal look so appetizing! Toast with jam and coffee is my usual pre ride morning meal, but I'm going to try this. It just looks so tasty.
Dude, you’re making me hungry. Enjoyed your demo (I’am also a bicycle rider).
for added taste, maple syrup is an excellent addition to oatmeal. Try it!
My go to breakfast since I went vegan 3 years ago. I dont use the butter , but I do love me some blueberries. I vary it up bit with the fruit, usually what ever is fresh and in season. Initially I had a hard time believing how much energy a simple bowl of porridge with fruit gave me. If I dont have my oats in the morning, my mind is not right for the rest of the day. I like the work you have done on your channel and always look forward to your commentary on cycling , CZcams and TV. Love that laugh!
Dave Sarcevic Have you tried vegan “butter”? Not quite as salty & rich as dairy butter, but it’s a big step above margarine. Only negative is the price.
I cut up a banana and put the berries into the bowl and mash it all. I then add the oatmeal after it is done cooking. I find raspberries and blackberries are the best. But today it was mainly strawberries and blueberries.
As it happens, my favorite preride (>1.5 hours) breakfast as well. But I add a raw egg somewhere near the end and a couple tablespoons of wheat germ. Hope you're not putting the maple syrup in the coffee, sacrilege!
What's a good time to wait before actually starting the ride? I usually need a half hour for it to settle in.
The best oatmeal is from Whole Grain Oat Groats NOT like an instant oatmeal, there's nothing in it, totally nothing. I like my oatmeal cooked in whole milk, but before that I precook oat groats in water till they're almost ready to eat (one hour or so). And instead of blueberries I use raisins, they give you a LOT of energy, as well as I take raisins with me on the longer rides 3+ hours.. Butter is good too and maybe a little brown sugar. The best meal before longer rides, I personally, don't eat anything else.
Never thought to add butter to my formula. Thanks, Bobke!
Best oatmeal video on the web. Thanks.
T-Shirt idea:
Advanced Bike Math:
Oatmeal + Coffee = Bike
Yes?
"OH baby" 10:24
great vid Bobke!
Just what I prefer for breakfast! Oatmeal, berries, banana, and coffee (I grind and French press). Perhaps I'll have yogurt too.
Like the Edward Hopper print on your wall Bobke
Strangely hypnotic.
Also, good olive oil instead of butter.
Hey Bob, do you ever use steel cut Oates? They burn even slower than rolled Oates.
Bob, you have such a wonderful demeanor.
I like french toast before a ride!
Oatmeal is good too!
Bob is a stud.
you are a cool dude. I love listening to your stories and commentary during the tour de france...
Hope you are safe down there and your air is o.k.
Tried this
this am....itssooofreakingooood!!! Thanks Bobke!!!
Exactly my ride breakfast.... on longer days I add one egg into the mix...
Your channel is gold, Bobke!
Two things. I can get a 3lb. bag of frozen blueberries, which would thaw quickly in your oatmeal for about $7 or $8US. A pint of fresh blueberries sells for $4 to $5US. The heart healthy choice these days, according to my nutritionist is either Country Crock or I Can't Believe it's not Butter.
I don't care what my nutritionist says about coffee though. I'll probably keep drinking it until my heart or bladder explodes.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Whoa! That's a cool old stove!
Those look like instant oats, Bob. You can take it up several notches with some quality oats. Start them in cold water, too. Much better texture. Enjoyed the vid. I'm getting me one of those coffee makers.
Bobkie, great Breakfast! I have a very similar pre-Ride Meal! 🚴♀️👍
damn, your killing' the oats and fruit. Use steel cut started from cold water, bring to boil for 3-4 minutes, turn off heat, place serving bowl overtop as lid which acts as a steaming dome. Enjoy your coffee as you wait 5-8min. Remove bowl, put spot of butter and brown sugar, pour in oatmeal, top with berries. Get all the nutrition.
Overnight oats with dates, nuts , greek yogurt, maple syrup, a bit of milk
Love that stove! What type of oatmeal do you use? Also.. are there links to where one could get the copper pan and coffee maker?

Your amazing! Great story teller always makes me smile to hear your stories. Quick question why not add to your merchandise some cycling caps and water bottles with the old 7-11 colors on it not the logo I understand it might cause copyright issues I guess.. but the colors with hints of that old great team .
Thank You. I like oatmeal too.
Dang Bob, you can make anything sound good to eat... lol
Hey Bobke - fun to spend some time with you over pre-ride breakfast preps!!! Hope those fires near Durango aren't cramping your style.... all the best and luv the vids!!!
Purple porridge!!
That looks great! I usually use the quick oats version and add some fruit afterwards. I gotta try this!
It is nice to hear that your cycling career panned out for you, Bob. And thanks for sharing your favorite breakfast. As for me, I tend to start fasted and then snack as necessary. And the fasted start is the formalization of a habit from my youth, when I commuted to high school by bike and simply didn't eat breakfast before leaving the apartment. I simply figured I'd go faster if I was lighter, but it was the mid-Seventies and what did I know, not much, it was all just a lot of fun to draft cars and chase mopeds on my way to Frankfurt American High School. And a tip of the hat to the Benz drivers who never seemed to mind that I was on their bumper when the traffic was flowing smoothly enough for that sort of shenanigans.
Robb Chastain super boring post..thanks
Thanks, Brian Dalton, I was thinking I should have said something about Pop-Tarts, more exciting for sure :)
I add them cold under the hot oatmeal. The berries.
Maple Syrup in coffee rocks.
I can’t eat anything before ride other than bananas or apple. This looks good 👍
Thank you, Bobke! Oatmeal for breakfast, indeed!!
Yes! Delicious. Love some oatmeal and blueberries!! Or bananas!
not nearly enough blueberries.
but the butter ratio is spot on.
Love this recipe but I use cream of wheat instead of oats and black berries instead of blueberries . Same results though , pure deliciousness ...
I do the same with my oatmeal. I'm too lazy to measure things out!
Can you share what kind of coffee pot that is and is it still made today?
Well that was interesting. Liked the story of how you acquired the pot! Speaking of pot, that was better then Martha Stewart and Snoop Dog anyway!😉
love blueberrys and oats. i don't need the butter though. #govegan
Looks delicious. Do you ever add any brown or cane sugar?
yo those blueberries are huge! I think maybe they are using PEDS lol :p
I had to give you thumbs up just for the user name.
Dave Sarcevic hahah thank you, hope you have a good day.
Pretty funny. I happened to get suggested this video mate as I was putting my syrup on my cooked oats!!! Hahahahaha. Legend. Great videos buddy. 👏👏👏
With the fire still raging, Baker's Bridge is out of the question. How about La Posta?
LaPosta always a good option
YES!! Oatmeal always works for me too Bobke ;-)
Awesome new videos of late....
Hey Bobke - you just gave me a great idea for breakfast with my wife and son. What is the brand name of the French copper pot and Italian stove top coffee pot? Would greatly appreciate a response. Keep up the great videos! Would love to know more about your days with 7-eleven and how long it took to earn respect from European riders and who where your best mates in the peloton. Cheers braaa!

Hey Bob, show us your vintage kitchen stove!!! Looks great! so does your breakfast and coffee. Save me a cup!!!!
What is the little chimney pipe for? What brand is that stove? We're looking for a vintage stove for a cabin in Michigan we're building.
What are your thoughts on Steel Cut vs Rolled vs Instant ? Thanks !
I'd like a couple of buttered toasts with that.
Awesome!
Time to offer Alessi coffee makers on your site!!! Drop ship is probably available!!! Coffee and bikes were made for each other. Which model is that you are using???
I don't think very many people would have the patience to take that long just for a little bowl of oatmeal but rather throw it in the microwave so they could get out the door quicker and on the road! LOL another great video Bobke!
Rice pudding and bananas. It sticks to your ribs!
Hey Bob what other breakfast do you eat before a ride besides oatmeal?????
Does this apply to MTB (Mountain biking)
Bobke your so funny, Oatmeal is the best pre ride breakfast ever, just add brown sugar.
Serious question, by the way the oatmeal looks tasty,. What is the brand & model of the coffee maker?
when Bobke and Bob Ross converge.
Hey Bobke ? Where do you reside? Nothing specific. Just the town. Love your house!
Do you take sugar in your coffee?
The Michelin (tyre) breakfast chef LOL
Those are the biggest damn blueberries! Seriously, bluepeaches.
I think you cooked the oatmeal too much Bobke, I rarely cook mine that long. I put dates, a banana, and sometimes apples in my oatmeal with pecans for sure😄
oatmeal preparedness is in the eye(and stomach) of the beholder
Here's an amazing fact: I have the exact same breakfast before my rides. Except I have cornflakes with chopped dates and a cup of tea. Otherwise, it's identical. Who knew?
You don't make breakfast in Lycra??
Paniagaua AND oatmeal! Gotta reprint the shirts now dude! 😜
Wow I don’t even like Oatmeal and I’m hungry for some now.
