I keep my HRM on my handlebar and just watch the display. I really don't like to eat much on the bike and I get even more finicky.

The other thing I noticed last year is that foods that worked well for me when it was cool/cold didn't go over so well when it warmed up. I hope you don't have issues with that.

I'm now considering Eastern Sierra. I'm not sure I'll be able to do Tam with some other things we have planned. I would kind of like to do five this year. But we'll see.
