How long a ride deserves a cafe stop?

Ok, if you think eating that in the middle of a ride is beneficial and your going to perform better for it then carry on, all it would do for me is make me puke after about 5 minutes. Personally i wouldn't eat swill like that without being on a bike let alone in the middle of a ride as I said everyone to their own if you wish to put that stuff inside you and think its clever to do so and ride a bike after as well then go for it.

The OP was about how long a ride deserves a cafe stop, didn't say it was a training ride. You may find it weird but more rides are about having a ride than training and a big part of the fun can be guilt free eating. I know this may make you puke but some of us don't even bother with a computer or GPS, we just ride and eat without stats.

Sounds like you have not trained enough. More training in cafes and you will be able to eat and ride without getting ill.
