I used to not eat before rides I'd wake up have a gel to settle my stomach and take away the empty stomach feeling you get when you wake up and I'd go right out. I might start trying this again. The reason i started eating before my rides is because now I'm able to ride longer and typically my rides last till almost lunch time.
