Thanks for the advice and encouragement.
for today's successful adventure.

Keep in mind that anything you ingest, such as the PBJ or energy bar or a slice of pizza, will take time to digest. If you are riding leisurely, you can eat almost anything but if you are exerting an extreme effort into the ride, fuel accordingly or you can wind up puking.
