Like Starfish, I use Nunn as well for electrolytes. For fluids, I alternate 'lytes and water my whole ride. Don't eat huge gobs of food on ride, just carry Fig Newtons, peanuts and usually I'm not into those until after 3 hours.
Will leave some Clif bars and bananas in vehicle for my return. It really is so individual.
I have found that since I have cut down my overall sugar intake, I do not have the highs and lows I used to. Increasing my protein and fat to where it should be has evened my blood sugar out..it feels so much better.

I was looking online for recipes for bars to make for rides; my husband turned up some high-falutin' snooty super training geek who said to eat Pop-Tarts, and from that moment on, we've just been eating normal food that we like on rides. Mostly a variety of baked stuff--on the healthy side of the typical US diet, but not clear to the healthy end.
But we're only newly reformed middle-aged duffers. Anyone with serious training in mind might be better off with PopTarts!
