That is what I am trying to figure out. It looks like I would need about 1000-1200 calories an hour. That seems like a lot. But I rode 50 miles today and I had to stops for food. I probably only had about 300 calories at each stop and I don't think that was enough.

In the heat I was really fading towards the end.
