One of the real reasons I love to cycle so much - especially the long distance cycling - is that you can eat and eat and eat too!!!
I'm not talking about those uber nasty gel packs either!!
The last 80 mile ride I did, the big end of the season Octagina event had a wonderful sag stop.
You could order an omelet 'specially cooked to order with all the veggies and stuff you wanted in it!
They also had an assortment of hot breads and rolls and handed you a fluted glass filled with a champagne mimosa as you waited in line at the port a potty.
Fun ride - course you can't overeat and then ride on, but it was wonderful to do the first 24 miles and then have the hot omelets and ride on for another 20 plus miles.
Lunch that day was homemade minestrone soup and sandwiches you built yourself with all the fixins at the 60 mile sag stop!!
That's the way to cycle on a cool fall day in Kansas!
