    Ah, a bunch of grown men concerning themselves with exactly what a bonk is. This must be what it's like in the Vatican.

    I resent that!

    I'm not the slightest bit grown up.

    so ut_och_cykla, essentially on a short (2hr) ride the food we eat on the bike is more for recovery? Therefore more important to that ride is what was eaten in advance. obviously i always try to eat well, but what i was thinking rather than eating half a banana every half hour ON the bike maybe i should be doing it before i get on the bike?
    Then for longer rides the food on the bike will start to be used as the ride gets longer?

    I would say for a 2 hour ride you're close to not requiring any food on the bike, as long as you have eaten well prior to the ride. Whether it be the night before or breakfast. Preferably both. You should be able to ride 1.5 to 2 hours on a full tank.
