Eating - I try to get something relatively substantial down every 20 miles or so (plus drinking water and Gatorade. Gatorade works for me. YMMV.)
Eating - rye-molasses muffins with a big pat of butter. ZOMG! Hard boiled eggs. Sweet Salty Peanut Bars. Gel (Hammer, Clif Shot. With and without caffiene, more with caffiene as the day gets long). Boiled potatoes (yummy with cream cheese and seasoned salt). Bananas. Fig Newtons. PayDay bars. Smartfood. Nuts. Chocolate milk. Sobe. Sandwiches, sometimes, if I make them up, but they've got to be easy to eat. Fritos. Nothing like Fritos sometimes - carbs, salt, fat. Wonderful on a hot day. Sticky cinnamon buns as big as my head (yeah Maggie's Buns in Forest Grove!). Rando-mochas (coffee/hot cocoa mix at the convenience store). Cookies at a supported ride rest stop. Cherry tomatoes. And not to forget the magic restorative power of V-8. Ice cream! Fried chicken, sometimes. Peanut butter, butter and jam sandwiches. The only thing I would advise against is a BBQ beef sandwich halfway through a 200 mile day ride :-) But you know your stomach better than anyone. I need to try those sesame crepes that Trader Joes sells (Kent P mentioned them). High calorie per penny ratio. In other words, mix it up - sometimes one food substance will appeal, another day/time you'll look at it and go...no, I don't think so. Don't wait until you are 40 miles into a ride before you eat something. Don't feel that you shouldn't eat because you'll slow the people you are riding with. Don't ask how I know these things :-) Lynne "you gonna eat that? could I finish it?"
