Hmm, I used to do this but ultimately concluded that nothing that I eat more than 2 hours before the ride start does anything except fill up my intestines with more stuff that I have to poop out, that much sooner.
I guess you could do an experiment to see if the food the night before actually does any good. Try just eating the feast the night before and no breakfast. Then try eating normally the night before and eating breakfast. Which works better?
