It depends how far I'm riding. If I'm going in the early morning, as in hit the road by 7:30 or 8:00, just two big cups of black coffee, and I'm fine riding for up to 90 minutes.
If I ride after that but before 10:30, I need my usual breakfast of yogurt with walnuts and dried fruit.
After 10:30 (like yesterday), I'll eat half a Peanut Butter sandwich right before riding. If it's a long ride, I'll drink about 1 x 24 oz bottle of Cytomax every 60-90 minutes. Yesterday, I still needed half an energy bar to make sure I got home without getting too empty, after 46 miles.
Then, another bottle of Cytomax from the fridge, a big roast beef sandwich, and a bunch of grapes. And all the water I can drink!
