I'm glad to read this thread and realize I'm not alone in the early morning breakfast battle. Dragging myself kicking and screaming out of bed is hard enough, but eating a good breakfast early in the morning is nearly impossible for me. Starfish, I think you and I have the same internal clock...I do MUCH better if I go to bed late, sleep late, and eat a little while after I get up. I am yet to do an organized ride, but I can see that being an issue for me. For now, I just don't ride first thing in the morning. But the weather will be heating up here soon, so I'll need to ride earlier.

A couple of things I seem to be able to get down even really early...vanilla soy milk and hard boiled eggs (except I absolutely cannot stand the yolk, so it's just the whites for me). But that doesn't hold you over for long. It's amazing how something that you'd love to eat later in the day is so un-appetizing early in the morning.

I commisserate (how do you spell that?!?!) with your breakfast plight!
