What do you recommend as far as food products that are good to have on longer bike rides?

For me:
Clif bars
Bloc Shots
Gu
If its a 100+ miles and I'm stopping at a gas station to fill up bottles, I'll pick up a cookie or candy bar

I eat a banana and drink water pre-ride, sometimes more stuff, just depends on what i'm feeling like.
What I've liked riding:
Clif Bars
Powerbar Gels
Peanuts
Babe Ruth candy bar
1/2 Gatorade, 1/2 Water mixed
What I don't:
anything too sweet (candy that's not nut-based)
full-strength gatorade
HEED (grossest, chalkiest stuff ever. ew)
post ride I make a smoothie, it has...1 cup yogurt, 8oz. Milk, 2 bananas, and sugar or honey. For protein, I make an omelet or eat leftovers of whatever is around.

Here in BF we have a special forum for questions just like this called Training and Nutrition:
https://www.bikeforums.net/training-nutrition/
Go there and do a search ... your questions have already been answered.
We also have a forum called the Long Distance forum. If you're talking about distances of a century or longer, that would be another place to ask the question.
