:rolleyes: Must have been a wierd sight. The only time I will have a hardboiled egg would be if I stopped, went to a restaurant and knew the hard boiled egg was stored in a cool place at a restaurant/cafe.Quote:

Anything that tastes "plasticky", like gummy bears, would not do much for me. It would sit like sludge in stomach.
A chocolate bar has saved me for energy out in a rural area but I don't stock /buy in advance for rides at all. Of course, I love chocolate off-bike, especially the quality dark stuff.
But I really, I prefer to be flexible palate-wise when cycling self-supported on long rides that take up nearly the whole day. I see it as necessary when travelling internationally, ..even off-bike.
I can usually eat anything, but recently I gave up red meat. In a pinch, we were running late, and we swung through McDonalds on our way out to a long ride. I ordered a cheeseburger, small fries and soda--no problem AFTER a ride, in the past. However, my stomach spent most of the ride trying to figure out what to do with that cheeseburger :confused:
Ugh, hard-boiled eggs. I'm shuddering. I don't know what it is about 'em, but I can't stomach them.
Other than that, I have an iron stomach. I can eat just about anything and not have problems.
I take hard boiled eggs on rides all the time. Why is that gross? I need some protein and I try really hard to avoid processed food like energy bars.Quote:

Wrap them in foldable ice packs in my handlebar bag :D
I'm so relieved to finally find out I'm not the only person in this world who can't stand bananas! :D
I like when bananas are offered on event rides. I have no trouble digesting them - although I just eat 1/2 of one once or twice during the ride - and they stave off leg cramps. My favorite is when they offer peanut butter and banana sandwich wedges. :D
I have an iron stomach--it's less about what than about how much. I doubt I could eat a whole cheeseburger during a ride. Half? Heck yes.
They look like eyeballs to me. I like scrambled, but that is not very convenient on a bike ride. Give me processed.Quote:
