Normal dinner the night before.
Big yummy breakfast the day of: two fried eggs, fried porkchop, potatoes, salad or steamed veges. Coffee.
Just before the ride: hunk of cheese, rice crackers, V-8
Every 1/2-1 hour on the ride: Clif Bloks or banana or Lara Bar or boiled potato wedges with salt (stole the potato idea from MP, I think. Awesome on-bike food!)
I gotta EAT! and I'm not shy about it!
(of course, YMMV)
Best way to figure out what your body likes is to experiment. Try different pre-ride fueling plans. Do you ride better with a big dinner the night before, or a big breakfast the morning of? Is it protein and fat your engine craves, or carbs? Would it rather do re-fueling after the ride, instead of pre-fueling before the ride? Do you have exciting gut issues like hypoglycemia or celiac disease that might influence the way your fuel system works?
