I take hard boiled eggs on rides all the time. Why is that gross? I need some protein and I try really hard to avoid processed food like energy bars.
I thought the same thing. It's an old backpacker's deal - many backpackers take hard boiled eggs and have for as long as I've been baackpacking (30 years).
