Drinkable yogurt, lowfat with sugar, no artificial sweetners. Regular yogurt, peanut butter twix, granola bars - the chewy ones peanut butter w/chocolate chips.  Gatorade, but no strange flavors (orange or grape are my choice), water.  I have trouble eating while I ride (I have severe acid reflux and refluxing while riding is no fun).  I wouln't describe any of this a nourishment.  It just keeps me from passing out after breakfast wears off. 

Breakfast is what really fuels me through a ride.  It is usually some egg dish with ham and cheese in it.  I usually have some juice (carrot), some toast and coffee.  Also, I eat like there is no tomorrow after a ride.  It is almost embarrasing.  At the Moonlight 50 in 2004, the brunch they served the next morning was spectacular.  They served each of us 1/2 a chicken that was roasted.  I ate my half a chicken and 1/2 of my husbands 1/2 a chicken.  That was before we got in the car for the 4 hour ride home.  The car ride is just a way for me to eat even more.

What kind of nourishment do you, as an endurance rider, eat and drink during the ride in order to keep from falling out? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you
