Paydays are an excellent ride food. Sweet, salty, a bit chewy, and the peanuts make them reasonably filling for their size.

Get the snack-size packets, those are a perfect size for carrying in jersey pockets.

They hold up really well in the heat. Now, that said, when it's really cold out they can get awfully chewy; sometimes when it's cold out I'd unwrap & chop a couple or few bars into quarters or sixths and stash them in a ziplock snack size bag.

Sometimes the snack-size Paydays are hard to find; DH (who also swears by Paydays as on-bike food) & I know where to find them locally. In our area, Safeways tend to carry them.

Many thanks to SadieKate who first turned us on to the snack-sized Paydays, oh so many years ago!
