Event Campaign
Fueling the Ride: Road to Tour de Brisbane with Fixx Nutrition
sponsored campaign by: NXsports
Road to TDB 2026 – Celebrating Brisbane’s Biggest Cycling Festival
As we roll closer to the Tour de Brisbane, Pedal Brisbane’s #roadtotdb26 campaign is all about preparing riders not just to finish,but to ride strong, steady, and well-fueled. Nutrition plays a massive role in endurance performance, which is why we’re excited to spotlight the event’s official nutrition sponsor: Fixx Nutrition.
Whether you’re chasing a PB or simply aiming to enjoy the ride, here’s what you’ll find on course,and how to use it effectively.
On the Water Stations: Fuel X Endurance Fuel
Available in a refreshing tropical fruits flavour, Fuel X is designed specifically for energy and endurance-style events like TdB.
Why it matters:
Fuel X delivers carbohydrates (your body’s primary energy source) alongside key electrolytes including sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium helping maintain hydration and reduce the risk of cramping.
How we suggested to use it:
* Take frequent small sips rather than big gulps
* Alternate with water for optimal absorption
* One drink bottle of Fuel X equals to energy of 2 gels
* Mixed in 500ml or 750ml bottles
Note: A great alternative if you’re not a fan of gels.
Ride Smart, Fuel Smart
The Tour de Brisbane isn’t just about fitness,it’s about pacing, hydration, and fueling consistency. Fixx Nutrition’s on-course support makes it easier for riders of all levels to stay energised and avoid common pitfalls like bonking or cramping.
As part of Pedal Brisbane’s #roadtotdb26, we encourage riders to practice with these products before event day. Your gut, legs, and overall ride experience will thank you.
