I make GORP... now I know there are inumerable recipes for GORP, but this is what I used for running and this is what I use for biking:
***not for people with nut allergies***

GORP for 2

2 x ziplok sandwich bags
2 Very Berry Powerbars (pick flavor of choice)
2 ind bags regular M&M
2 ind bags peanut M&M
1/4 cup each baggie mixed nuts
1/4 cup each baggie favorite granola-like cereal (I use Great Grains)
1 regular sized PayDay candy bar (or your favorite candy bar).

-Cut Powerbar into 1 in. cubes, roll btn palms to make balls, put 1 cut up bar in each baggie
-add to each baggie 1 bag reg M&M, 1 bag peanut M&M, 1/4 cup mixed nuts,1/4 cup cereal, 1/2 PayDay sliced into bite size bits

Shake and throw in the fridge... before ride take it out of fridge and shove it in a jersey pocket.

And that's how I came to CA and rode 50 miles when I hadn't been on my bike since last summer.

Yummy, yummy-I need to try those recipes ASAP! The recipe I'm posting is really good, although when my husband first read the ingredients he didn't want anything to do with them, now he can't stop eating them (he thought they were too healthy sounding).

1.5 cup whole wheat flour
1tsp. baking powder
1 teaspoon cinammon
.25 teaspoon nutmeg
1.5 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped almonds (or other nut)
.25 cup chopped dried apricots
5 oz. silken tofu
.25 cup water
1 cup olive oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
If you're feeling spunky a handful of carob or chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375
Mix first part of ingredients (up to apricots)
In seperate bowl smash the tofu and add the remaining ingredients

Fold wet into dry, then place on pan

Enjoy!

When we made major life style changes (which brought dh and I to our passion for cycling!) I needed to make changes to our favorite week-end pre-ride breakfast ... pancakes. DH was a real trooper while I substituted and experimented but has declared this his favorite:

1-1/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 cup skim milk
1 package Splenda (or 1 teaspoon sugar or honey)
1/4 cup soy flour (white flour can be substituted)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup egg substitute (or 2 large eggs, beaten)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Cooking Spray

In a large bowl, combine oats, plain yogurt, milk and Splenda. Stir in flours, baking soda and salt. Add egg substitute and mix well. Add chopped walnuts. Batter will be thick.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over a medium heat. If needed, spray pan with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bottoms are browned and bubbles on top start to pop (about 3 minutes). Flip and cook until other side is browned (about 2 minutes). Repeat.

DH enjoys his pancakes with sugar-free syrup ... I love them topped with sliced banana, vanilla fat-free yogurt (we love Blue Bunny Lite 85 yogurt) and topped with a sprinkling of grape nuts or granola. This really gets my furnace stoked for a day of biking. These pancakes are also delicious topped with fresh fruit.

Enjoy!
