    it depends on many things.

    How fast are you going to ride?
    how fit are you?
    What has worked for you before?
    Is it Hilly or flat?
    What temperature is it outside?

    In essence its all about trial and error!

    Scrambled egg on toast and a bowl of porridge three hours before the start of the ride works for me
