I'll definitely try experimenting with fruit and save the butter and syrup for non-riding mornings when I have time to eat pancakes. and maybe I'll wait a little longer before hitting the road, too... it's great to hear how different breakfasts work for different folks!

I'm one of the folks who can't do pancakes before a ride. I end up feeling like they've settled into a heavy lump in my gut. Now, steak'n'eggs with hashbrowns are a different story. Some of my longest, strongest rides have been fueled by that combo

I did a triathlon on pork chops, potatoes, and eggs, and coffee!

I think pancakes tend to sit in the tummy like a doughy lump. Now French toast....that's different!

There's something about pancakes I can't get my teeth into
. I make this great wholegrain batter, make a waffle for me, and pancakes for DH. Same taste (I assume), so maybe it's the spongelike texture of the pancake I don't like.
If we're riding, I have raw old fashion style oatmeal soaked overnight in vanilla soymilk and a bit of honey. Yummy. I can't ride following a big breakfast.Health is the thing that makes you feel like now is the best time of the year--Franklin Pierce Adams

French toast works for me, wiht a little syrple and maybe sugar if it came with it. Just two slices, though.
