Long Ride Eats

[shootingstar]

I don't have gels and sports drinks at all.

In reading everyone's choices here, I'm probably too illogical for the touring I've done and 90% over the past 20 years has been self-supported multi-day as well as multi-wk. bike touring with my partner by cycling with our own panniers, etc.:

Banana, small sandwich, muffin, nut bars (ones glued together with honey, etc.). any of this preferably with water or natural fruit juice drink.

I agree that apples just are too bulky and "hard" to digest while eating under a short stop. Oranges are too messy unless you choose tangerines.

If I have 1 banana, I absolutely must have a drink with it, since I find a banana tends to dry out my mouth.

Thank you all for your fantastic replies! We managed to eat pretty well (not supported). We didn't have much time to stop so everything during the ride was from our bags-lots of trail mix, beef jerky, Lara bars, string cheese, etc. I'm in the protein group Although, I have to say, there was a taco truck that smelled mighty amazing...
