For you, yes ... because you've ridden a few 100K rides. But remember that the OP's longest ride is 50 km. Better to advise him to eat
more rather than less ..... or we'll end up with the "Why Did I Bonk?" thread on Monday.
If we burn 500 calories per hour on a bicycle (for example, and keeping in mind that the OP will not likely be riding at race pace), consuming 250 calories per hour is not a bad goal to aim for. Also, those 250 calories per hour can come from both solid food and liquid nutrition. So, the sports drink of choice can be included in that total.
