    I may not post daily, but this challenge is motivating me to ride even when I don't want to. My motto is something is better than nothing as witnessed by my Friday ride.

    8/8 6.8 miles
    8/9 15 miles (my farthest ride this year)

    To all those folks that bike long distances what do you eat during the ride to keep your energy up (if anything at all)?

    I always carry almonds with me on every ride I take. It's easy to eat and easy to pack. But anything high protein would work! Lots of times on 40-50+ rides we will stop for a quick bite. I'm rethinking that though as I always feel sluggish for a bit after.

    I might decide to try it again after work, depending on how I feel.

    It varies depending a lot on the distances. Anything under 30 miles, I really don't bring anything extra along. Between 30 to 60, I will carry a bag of sports beans and/or a clif bar--something that won't melt or get to messy in my back pocket. Rides above 60, I will usually put my handle bar bag on and carry extras of both and also grab a bite while I am riding. Supported rides, i will grab a banana or pickles any chance I get. Also to a point where I have learned I need to eat if I want to make it through a 100 miler without bonking. Post ride especially a long or hard ride is always some chocolate milk.

    Thanks for the input. I'm slowly building my endurance back to take longer rides (for me) as I managed to go 15 miles on both Saturday and Sunday.

    Forgot to post my rides:
    I did 30 miles over the weekend and 8.3 miles tonight as I got a late start.
