 a race. Furthermore, if you train on a carb-based diet--train hard and 
 long--you will have the body crying out for IMTGs and learning how to store 
 and burn them efficiently. Then, as you come into the first big race of the 
 season and begin your taper, you load fat (high fat diet) for 30 days and 
 fill that IMTG tank. Then for a few days you carbo-load, topping off the 
 glycogen and creatine phosphate tanks. Then, during the race, you supplement 
 with carbs--putting the icing on the IMTG cake. That's the way human 
distance 
 athletes are doing it these days.

OK, so what would meet the 'carb-based diet' requirement ? The carbo-loading 
before and carbs during the ride would be your GL? The Enduroevent I feed at 
10% fat sounds like it would load fat. Or are we talking alot higher(like 
adding rice bran)?
