1) What do you eat before your ride? As I mentioned earlier, if it has been a few hours since lunch and you're about to head out on a ride, it is not a bad idea to have a banana or something similar.
2) What do you have in your water bottles?
3) If your ride is going to be a century, then you might want to start eating at the 1 hour point.
