When planning for a ride I think in terms of how long I'll be riding, not mileage. If it's more than 90 minutes, I bring two things to eat. I usually only eat one. If I have no place to shop, I bring two things for each hour thereafter that I plan to be out. If there are stores on the route, I still bring some extra stuff.

What do I eat? Paydays, Cliff Shot Bloks, Sport Beans, Hammer Gel. Each of those is one item.
