Starfish, if you wait 2 hours to eat, you could bonk and that's a road you don't want to go down.
how about chocolate milk? is that something you can handle? You just want to keep from going below a safe blood sugar level.
There's a true science to keeping your nutrition right on long rides; that's one of the reasons people don't just go out and ride 100 miles. See what happens on a 30, a 50, a 60 mile ride.
I find myself getting VERY hungry if i ride much more than 25 miles. that's approximately 2 hours. People struggle with nutrition on these epic rides.
People like my DH who rides mostly rides ending in 2 zeros endlessly compare and try alternate diets; like Ensure and very expensive powdered foods; yet
he also likes stuff like chocolate milk and Snickers bars.
experiment on shorter rides, see what works for you!
