Good for you, JoHunter! Great feeling of power, isn't it?

I'm basically with Veronica on the eating and drinking.

Under 1 hour ride - water only unless it is hot and then I at least use a couple Endurolyte (electrolyte) pills

Under 2 hours - Cytomax/Crystal Lite cocktail

Eating, maybe not every half hour but I should if I'm riding hills. On the flats around my home, I probably don't need to eat this often.

I also make sure I've eaten something within the hour before I leave on any ride which will be an hour or longer.
