My favorite hot weather cycling food are peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets. They don't melt. They are carbolicious with just a little fat and protien for staying power. They are salty, and they are easy on the stomach (for me). This container is like $4 and will last me for weeks (if I hide them from DH!).



If it's a self-supported century - I've found that buying the sports drink powders and carrying that instead of the actual liquid is really helpful. It's lighter for carrying long distances when it's in powder form and it's cheaper to get water at random country stores than it is to buy more gatorade.

I also like taking grapes for my long rides. Sometimes I just want to eat real fruit, and grapes are weather proof and they leave nothing to discard.
