My daily routine is pretty boring. Up at 5 a bowl of oatmeal and a bit of fruit. I then walk the dog for two miles and then jump on the bike and commute to work. If it's a day I'm not working, instead of a commute, I do a longer ride. During the winter I'll often do a night ride about 1.5 hours after dinner. It doesn't matter much what I eat as long as it's not heavy with oils or fat. Hence, I wouldn't feel great either with fried chicken before riding. I almost always have a fig bar or two with me when I ride. Even if it's a short hour ride, I'll pop one of the fig bars in after about 30 to 40 minutes.
