Bars/gels generally end up in my rear jersey pockets. Here's the trick to eating well on the bike during a race - practice eating on the bike during training! You will get better and better @ both the physical act of retrieving and opening, as well as actually holding down the treat. Practice eating when your body is very stressed. This will help replicate more of a race situation.
