I do now, as a racer in the 1970/80s I didn't -that was probably a mistake and the reason why my performance went downhill after an hour of competition.
That's OK if you are happy with plenty of stops - and why not - but the original query concerned riding distances at a decent average speed, which implied non-stop. If you leave eating until hungry, and drinking until thirsty, it's too late and a longish break to refuel and rehydrate is needed, which the original poster did not seem so keen on.Eat if you feel hungry. Don't eat if don't feel hungry.
Drink if you'r thirsty, don't drink if you're not.
Stop and have a rest if you feel like it.
Why do we manage to make riding a bike so complicated?
If the gels start taking "that" effect you can always shove the egg 'where the sun don't shine'...........that should work just fine.I don't think eggs have much if any carbohydrate in them? They will bung you up to counteract the gels though!
