Dogmama, I think I had a nice break at 2 hours too. I've wondered how often cyclists eat on the road and how often they stop during long ride.

It depends on the cyclist, her level of hydration & carbs for that day, etc. I would think that every 1.5 to 2.0 hours would be reasonable, but I know some people stop every hour. If you are newer, I'd err on the side of caution & stop every hour.

Your food might have had too much fat (peanut butter & cheese.) You want quick carbs which means food that doesn't have a lot of fiber or fat. Both fiber & fat will slow down the uptake of carbs.
Of course, 98 degrees is brutal too!
