^^ Agree.. Food is going to be a personal thing. what works for one person could be terrible for someone else.

for me for 50mi i'll eat cereal before i leave. (most of my longer rides are AM) drink some water on the way. have 2 bottles with NUUN and/or Powerbar drink mix. gel flask or Honey stinger gummies in the pocket. for 100 i'll do gels before and after half way and a Portables apple/cinnamon rice cake at 50mi break.

the portables blog and book have good alternatives for different diet restrictions.
