I don’t generally eat breakfast till 7.30 so I struggle to eat something at 6am before a ride but feel I should, I then force myself to eat and thing how long should I wait before I go out.

Don't feel you need to eat pre-ride. I commute into London most days (6am) and I'm out the door on the bike within 15 minutes of getting up. Most of that time is taken sorting out the dog! Don't eat until I get into work around an hour later.

Same for weekend rides. Rarely eat before I go out, and won't bother during a ride of up to around 45 miles. Anything over that and I might take out an energy bar of some description.

Guess it depends what you are used to, but I'm a fairly early bird and have always struggled to eat before a ride. Never bothered me in terms of "performance" though.
