I also drank a couple of those Campbell's ready to eat chicken and stars soups. Lots of salt and fat and very easy on the stomach. Boil some red potatoes cut into litte cubes and put them in a bag with a tiny bit of olive oil, salt, and parmesan cheese.

I have found that up to 100 miles, I do fine with the typical "bike food." Anything longer than that I need real food.

Wish I had one more weekend left to get in a really long ride to try this but should be taking it easier this weekend right? What to do, what to do...
