Eat a big breakfast,medium lunch and a small dinner.....sometimes I'll eat 2 breakfast and 2 lunches.

Cherries are my favorite snack on the bike....They are like super fuel for me.I'm not sure what's in them but my body LOVES cherries when I'm putting out lot's of effort.

Thanks. Cherries sound like a great idea. I mostly eat fruit and nuts while I'm riding. Then complex carbs, protein, vegetables when I stop for a real meal.
