As the title states, on my longer weekend rides, I'm having issues with keeping enough energy in me throughout the ride. By "longer" I mean about 50-60 km. I also do 20-30 KM rides on weekdays (would do longer but can't due to lack of sunlight at this time of year and school).
Is there any particular foods that I should be eating before and during my rides to keep me energized? Currently, I'm just eating heavier in the morning before the ride and during the ride I usualy end up stopping at a gas station's convienience store and grabbing the first solid thing I see (usually a candy bar) becuase I'm usually just striped of energy at the time.
