DURING the ride. Try to eat about 250 calories per hour while you ride (most energy bars are about 250 calories), and it is best not to stuff the whole energy bar down once an hour ... nibble a bite or two every 10 minutes or so.
If you are going out for an hour ride, just eat a good breakfast, and maybe tuck an energy bar in your bag just in case you stay out longer. If you're going longer, eat that good breakfast, then after about an hour of riding, start in on the energy bars.
