**this is a really good one, especially for stopping for food. The number of times on bike or cross-country skiing that I have put off a nibble and it ends up biting you in the ass with you feeling run down. You are going to stop at some time anyway, so eat when you need to, makes a world of a difference-especially when schlepping umpteem pounds of stuff on your bike up a hill or skiing at -10 or -15c--you gotta stoke the furnace or ye ol ship runs down on steam.
***have said snacks and such WITH you.
Yes! Eat when hungry. The nice spots with sweeping views are for tea breaks.
