Good advice! I'd also add that I recommend eating something that includes slow-burning complex carbs at least two hours before the ride. That will give you plenty of time to digest. If you ride for more than 1.5 hours, then add a sports drink or small snack. Have fun!

Awesome ride....I'm still new to shifting gears but through it all we had a blast!! I did eat a lite breakfast of oatmeal and brought some snacks along. I'm sure I will feel sore tomorrow, but I'm pumped up!!
Thanks all for the great advice
