Whatever training you did worked as you have done the century ride. I would have eaten a bit more on the ride- But I would also have carbo- loaded for a week or so before the ride. Stuff to eat on the ride- Anything with carbo hydrate- Cereal bars- cake- dried fruit and I normally take some cheese with me to give a bit of protein and give a different taste. A packet of Chips helps with the salt and different taste- but from experience- I do not take nuts now- Choked a couple of times and it was not nice.
I ride often and in preparation for a long ride- I do not ride 100 miles. I do non stop rides- start at 2 hours and when I get to 4 hours- that is enough.
