i'm kinda surprised by all the people who say they feel queasy if they eat before they ride. maybe it's because i've got a 15 mile ride each morning, but if i don't get some food into my belly beforehand, i feel like i'm running out of gas. now, that's not to say that i would try to stuff a 1,200 calorie meal of eggs and bacon and sausage and waffles and toast and pancakes and muffins and whatnot into my belly beforehand, but a couple of hard-boiled eggs for protein and a banana for some carb energy and other vital nutrients seems to suit me really well on my ride, and i never ever feel queasy from it.
