I'm not sure about barley, but I like to have a bowl of oatmeal or quinoa (cooked with almond milk). I stir in 2 teaspoons of nut butter and slice a banana on top.0

If i understand correctly it is about slow burning carbohydrates and to assess this we look at the GI index. Oatmeal is 55 and Barley is 28 by those standards i would think Barley would be better. Although Barley has more fiber then Oatmeal and i think its the starchy carbohydrates that we need not fiber before a ride. Any how i know it different for everyone but it is interesting to figure this out.0
