I think it's a good idea to figure out where your limit is - how long can you go before eating is necessary. Like I said, I use to be able to do two hours - no problem. But lately, I've noticed I start dragging around 90 minutes if I haven't eaten.

Last year I was doing a 200K a month and for those rides I would start eating thirty minutes into it because I was going to be on the bike for ten hours.

But everybody is different. You have to experiment and see what works for you. Hammer Gels are a good choice because the carbs are a little more complex. Gel Blasts are just simple sugars. But they go down easy.
