Must have been a wierd sight. The only time I will have a hardboiled egg would be if I stopped, went to a restaurant and knew the hard boiled egg was stored in a cool place at a restaurant/cafe.

For instance eating french fries during a long ride..is just ugh, not enjoyable to me. But then, I seldom order French fries off-bike at meals.

Anything that tastes "plasticky", like gummy bears, would not do much for me. It would sit like sludge in stomach.

A chocolate bar has saved me for energy out in a rural area but I don't stock /buy in advance for rides at all. Of course, I love chocolate off-bike, especially the quality dark stuff.

But I really, I prefer to be flexible palate-wise when cycling self-supported on long rides that take up nearly the whole day. I see it as necessary when travelling internationally, ..even off-bike.
