Seems to me that qualifies you as a "real" roadie...

If you ride...
If you like it...
If you look forward to it...

You ARE REAL

Re food: I usually eat a sandwich or a fruit filled bar after commuting to work and have a warm milo as well.
I have something like subway for a late lunch - about 1-2pm - and head home about 2-3 hours later

my commute is 24km each way
