Just out of curiosity, what does everyone enjoy eating the day before the ride? Also, what do you have when you get up? Favorite breakfast meals before a ride?
In the morning, I usually either have a bagel and coffee or oatmeal. The night before, baked zita or rigatoni.

Macaroni and Cheese, or Mac and cheese for adults.... fetuccini alfredo. Or a nice deep dish pizza.
Morning always includes 2 bagels. One with breakfast, and one on the way to the ride, or at the start while gearing up/waiting.

chicken, rice and bean burrito.
For the morning, a smoothie (kefir, a banana, some berries, some ground flax meal, some protein powder and some green stuff (http://www.gardenoflifeusa.com/detail_perfect.shtml). I also have a bagel with cream cheese, since the smoothie leaves me hungry an hour later.
