Best commuting breakfast

Jeez, some of you lot, porridge with cream????
18 mile (hilly) or 21 mile (not so hilly) commute into work and I have to be at work at 6.30 which means the time I leave I cannot stomach food it actually makes me want to be sick.
Water, maybe a coffee, a few jelly babies at half distance.This fitness lark is getting addictive0 -
Porridge (what else in the Highlands?) though (and this is where I give away my Englishness) with, semi-skimmed/water, banana and a dash of maple syrup. Then a cup of Illy espresso in a latte.
A full-house of different carbs/sugars and caffeine to give it all a kick.
The only downside is that I need to leave 45 mins before setting off to avoid seeing it all again at the top of the first steep climb!ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -
This morning, I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, followed by a whole grapefruit. Sets me up nicely.0

I only ride in 5 miles to work so I tend to ride without eating anything, then when I get to work I have a piece of dry granary toast, with some baked beans and a poached egg. I think I have convinced myself that's healthly, anyone care to shatter this delusion?0

x3 + a handfull of sultanas, followed by 3 slices of toast with jam, honey or peanut butter, and a glass of orange juice. Where it all goes, and how I digest it at the same time as cycling I have no idea, but I need it. The odd day when I have run out of weetabix or bread, I have struggled.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

How about two cups? (That's mine at the moment. Although I then have more coffee and a muffin when I arrive at work.)FCN 2-4.

I'm still relying on the Sugar Puffs... I find i have more energy at the start of the day than at the end. The ride in always seems easier.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Down or in?
@Cafewanda - mine's slightly out of necessity - I need to keep the pounds off for the next couple of months. After that, back to toast and cereal. And the muffin, of course.FCN 2-4.
