I was thinking about this because I always get the eating totally wrong on long rides. i will always hit a rough patch around 80 mile and take a while to get back into shape after drinking some coke. the reason is I forget to eat because I don't like eating on the move so i don't keep to an eating schedule rather eat when I get a chance at a stop. If I stuff pasta down me the night before, will this solve the problem?
