Yes, 2 hours can be a lot of time but just an option that I found appeasing to myself while on tour. I was homeless once so maybe it's more personal to me.
Thank-you for the tip.
I will incorporate that once a week when on tour from now on. As I too was once on the receiving end of Community generosity.
To add to the thread:
Water is much more important to me. I have exhausted my supply a few times in my training treks, building up to my solo month long tour. I now carry 6 one liter bottles. Filling 2, 4, or all 6 in the morning dependant on the day ahead (ability to refill). I can struggle through being hungry for a day. I now carry a half dozen breakfast bars, and two cans of sardine's in the bottom of my front pannier.
