At the beginning of this year, this is what I was doing. At that point I had been paleo for approximately 4 months. I was riding 55 miles both days on the weekends and 30 miles on weekdays - in 100 degree west Texas heat.

I just kept up with my water intake and ate like normal. I had coffee in the morning on the weekends before my rides and after my shower upon returning home, I'd have some eggs, bacon and macadamia nuts, maybe a piece of fruit and some veggies.

During the week, I'd ride after I got home from work and then after my shower I would have a normal dinner.

Never really had a problem with recovery or bonking on the bike. I will mention though, that at this point I was also really used to Intermittent Fasting - where I would go 24 hours or so without eating anything without an issue, while still doing my normal work schedule, so I knew I could go a long time without fuel and be fine.
