Transporting Fuel???

[ehirsch83]

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...
