Length of ride matters, but also time of day. If I'm doing 50 miles on a Saturday morning, I've eaten a good breakfast first and I might not eat anything during the ride. For longer Sat. morning rides, I'll eat at the first rest stop. For the same 50 miles, but on a summer time late afternoon/early evening ride that begins before dinner, then I'm starting off 4-5 hours since my last meal and I'll eat a banana or the equivalent of a clif bar (usually not that brand) on my way out the door and will likely supplement with energy chews during the ride
