Similar in the afternoon -- I'm riding home to my supper, so I'm usually pretty hungry by then, too. Maybe I should buy some granola bars or something to snack on in the late afternoon before starting for home?
What do you do for food?
I do exactly as you, John. Can't speak for others, just me. I keep a little "gas" with me on the bike in case of emergencies (and it won't catch fire, either.
) I love to eat later...
