Tracy -
Just toast before a 25-mile ride doesn't sound like you're starting with enough fuel onboard. The peanutbutter suggestion is a good one - but I'd add it to the toast in addition to having some available for an after the ride snack. Just an example - my before-ride breakfast usually consists of cereal with fruit (bananas + strawberries if available) plus a piece of toast or a toasted (frozen) waffle with peanut butter. My after-ride snacks often include either yogurt or yogurt smoothies.
