What's a long ride? Two water bottles in the cages, a banana and a granola bar in the jersey pocket is about all I need or want on a ride of 70 miles or less. If it's hot and/or I go farther, I'd rather stop off at a convenience store to see what kind of snacks they have and to get a cold drink to refill my bottles.
