I love this list. Just gotta say. :) For my ride this weekend (the STP, 2 centuries over 2 days) I'm going to stick to PB&J sandwiches, HEED for the first couple hours after a big breakfast, Perpetuum and Hammer Gel and Bars after that, along with good real food as I see it along the way--j

Agreed. Don't do anything new to your bike. Don't do anything new to yourself (food, liquids). Do what you always do. I ride 50 - 100 miles on a regular basis with 2 bottles of water and 2 bananas. Having said that, I ride mostly in the morning ~ 4:30am when it is not hot. Actually I just rode

+1 on Perpetuum. I just discovered the Hammer stuff. Has worked well for me on a few long rides so far...and hope it will work well on the STP this weekend. I pack a peanut butter, cheese and honey sandwich, and drink the Perpetuum from one bottle and plain water or HEED in the other. I hav
