Oh yea, I have to eat something in the morning before I ride and in the afternoon before as well, if not I will feel weak, angry, and want to eat everything in site once I get to my destination whether its work that morning or home. There have been a few times I take a detour and stop somewhere just to grab something to snack on, relax, people watch then make that last 2 miles home. Oh yea, my commute is only 6 miles but I ride hard for some weird reason.
