Transporting Fuel???

[Starfish]

I have three bottle cages...two in the front triangle, and one under the down tube. (My frame pump sits on top of the top tube.)

I have an expandable wedge bag under the back of the saddle.

For long rides, I sometimes use a bento box on the top tube, and I sometimes rig a tiny little wedge bag underneath my aero bars, under the stem, in which I put my repair kit. That makes it easy to carry some extra clothes in my under-saddle bag, and it makes it easy to know where stuff is when it is compartmentalized.

I have a camelback, but I don't care for sweating against it. I really hardly ever truly need the 3 bottles, but I sometimes I have been glad for them, especially when I get a flat out in the middle of nowhere on a hot day.

Whatever food I take with me goes in the pockets of my jersey, can't imagine stomaching anything more then what I could keep back there(gels, trail mix, fig newmans, maybe a banana). I have 2 cages on my bike, one bottle has an endurance drink in it, the other has an emergen'c mixed in with it(i feel that these extra nutrients also help with needing less food)
And then I have a smallish saddle bag for my spare tube,tools, and co2
cartridge.

If i run out of water I stop and refill somewhere.

Excess packaging just bothers me so little thingies of food in lots of wrapper annoy my sensibilities - but I love PowerBars. Of course bananas are already perfectly wrapped... and I have Gatorade in the water bottle and water in the Camelbak. (Gatorade from the powdered concentrate, of course - and I use the old containers for coins and screws and nuts and stuff )

Mostly I stop to eat along the way, though...
