I take along a Balance Bar. My rides are usually about 2 hours duration, so I don't alwasys eat the bar. It's good to have though.

I fell and smashed a banna in my jersey pocket. It was such a tragic and messy acident that I have to this day not put another banna in my jersey pockets. No, I do not and will not stick a banna in my shorts.

For my own personal information I looked up Fig Newtons on the Web
https://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.c...us.php3?item=5
so here, in the UK, we seem to be well served by our Jacob's Fig Rolls.
enjoy your midride snack whatever it is.

Pretzels, crackers, cheese. Also, I like Cliff Bars. I have seen that they are everyday priced at Wal Mart for .98. They go for $1.49 at the grocery stores.

Has anyone mentioned breakfast bars? I get 'em at Ralphs for $2/box of ten. Taste like crap, except in the middle of a long ride, and then they taste sensational! Plus they fit in the bag easily.

Self-supported - homemade trail mix, Clif bars, Hammer gel. On an organized ride - peanut butter, banana and honey sandwiches, fig newtons, orange wedges, saltine crackers. On a long ride when I'm really tosted I'll stop at a store for a Snickers bar and a Coke.

OK - here goes
Dates, other dried fruit, halva, banana, apple, pear, homemade energy solution consisting of honey+pomegranate+salt, NO energy bars.
I travel light and take the bare minimum on any particular ride. This "minimalistic" policy has gotten me into trouble on more than one ocassion when the distance and/or effort was greater than anticipated.

Fig newtons, bananas, Nature Valley bars (especially the peanut butter ones!) and gatorade for the longer rides.
Pop Tarts? So you have a solar powered toaster?

Yeah, when it gets hot enough, you can wrap the stuff like soft taffy. The only hassle is cleaning the sticky residue off at the end of the ride.

I have a small handlebar bag sometimes and sometimes a banana bag under the saddle. How big a bag do you think I'd need for this?
The other things listed are favorites at rest stops on supported rides.

I just got back from a 102 mile ride (solo) and I had a convenience store brownie at 19 miles in and a 12" turkey breast sandwich at Subway at 42 miles in. My last 60 miles were non-stop. I guess my mid-ride snacks officially now are brownies and turkey sandwiches.

Just finished my best Century ever and my mainstay was M&M's...started with peanut and swithed to plain on the way back. They also had banana chips that I ate a few times. This was also my first Century with lunch in the middle and I felt stronger than ever at the end even though the Century turned out to be 111 miles. Our paceline averaged 20 on the way back...and I even pulled for 50cm !
