I'm going camping this weekend and may get out for a early morning ride. Going to the Galena, IL area and want to do a few hils and things where I'm at are pretty flat. So if I wake up early and decide to get out for a bit, what can I eat (without cooking) to fuel up a bit before I ride?

Any thoughts on something quick and easy?

RED BULL!

Can of coke and a Snickers!

Actually I usually like to eat a banana before a morning ride, along with a big glass of water.

Fruit, cerial if you like that, chop up a couple of mellons the nigh before if you will be having a cool place to keep it overnight. Power bar kind of thing or fig newtons.

I'll second Powerbar or Fig Newtons. Milk and cereal make me feel a bit ill when I first start riding; fruit or yogurt for some reason give me stomach aches after my ride. Regardless of what you eat, drink as much water as you can. The amount I drink before a ride has seemed to make more of a difference than what I've eaten before a ride.

Oatmeal (package, add hot water) with some peaches does it for me. Careful not to overeat!

Beer and naked women. Is this the same wingnut from FMB?

Cereal, 'breakfast bars', pop tarts, granola bars, some fruit, trail mix, a PB&J sandwich, some cookies, a sports drink, cold pizza...

Well maybe not the cold pizza, but you get the idea.

Raisin Bran & a banana- carbs, potassium & magnesium.

Clif bar and a cup of coffee. Must have coffee.

my formula of 1/2 frosted flakes, 1/2 corn flakes revves me up. although i don't know how it would work in a redwing fan.

Raisins, gel packs.

Half of a raw onion.

Yoplait Nouriche breakfast smoothie. It's a drinkable yoghurt with 300 calories and lots of vitamins, potassium and protein. You could probably live on the these things and nothing else. No saturated fat.
