Here comes the science bit.
During exercise you don't burn as many calories as your bike computer/you might think.
What the bike ride does is raise your metabolism, so it's not until much later your cake, ham roll, chips energy is used. What the cake (sugar and the flour) will do is spike your sugar levels which will give you a sugar rush but that's only a wee fix. The sugar drop a while later could really hamper your ride home.
For me however, it's ice cream no matter the temperature. I use the excuse it does have some protein.
