My solution to food while riding has been this...it is just an idea as to what combo might work for you...

I have been eating a clif shot before I leave the house. Before that I have usually eaten a good breakfast and perhaps a midmorning snack, if needed. On my bike I have a cytomax drink mix in one water bottle and pur water in the other. During the ride, I will go back and forth between them as needed. From what I have read and learned from everyone, is to go back and forth between each. Then if I am really hungy, this varies on my ride length and other factors-how hungry I have been -I will have some clif bar at a stop along the way.

My usual rides have been around 30 miles. I am sure I refill on water when I come home and I am sure I eat something when home to refuel.

Clif bars and the like work for me, there are many brands of bars out there so find what works for you.

happy riding.
