A year or so ago, I read an article (in Bicycling mag maybe?) that said that if you're going to ride for 90 minutes or less, you can increase fat loss by riding first thing in the morning before eating. The writer also suggested that you might want to have a cup of coffee or two before riding--maybe the caffeine gives you a little more energy. And if you're going more than 90 minutes, you have to eat.

I don't remember the reasoning behind these ideas, and I sure don't know the science, but it's worth a try.
