No headaches but do have to watch my hydration on longer rides because I only start to suffer after 60+ miles if I haven't drunk enough earlier in the ride. I have to force myself to drink regularly in the first few hours even though I don't necessarily feel the need until much, much later.
I remember doing an Audax once and one of the stops was the usual little cafe crawling with lycra and everybody talking about Garmins and PBs so I opted for a quiet pint of Guinness and a Bacon + Egg Toastie in the country pub next door on my lonesome. I thought it was a much better idea than the healthy cafe stuff until I got 5 miles further on and a 20% gradient loomed ahead of me and suddenly it was not such a good idea
I'd love to see a pro rider pull out a pork pie during the TdFMini pork pies, ready salted crisps, banana, nuts - typically old school, none of these new fangled energy bars here, or anything with chocolate, as it tends to melt

What about pudding!
I know a tight-arse
Sticking to Love Hearts, 85% sugar, small enough that you can ration them so as not to overdose, and a refreshing zing in the mouth. I can only eat so many jelly babies without tying my stomach in knots.
