Loved your story in the Riv Reader Scott......I use the now out of production banana bag but also a Carradice for colder weather. I find myself doing something similar when commuting, I just fill my water bottles and don't take anything but my lunch to work (a modest piece of some kind of protein and a big salad) Usually one piece of fruit on the way home but since my diet change often not even that. I just don't get hungry as much now and can usually ride around 2 hours without doing anything different food wise whereas previously I would just eat back all the calories I had just burned while riding.
