Some of the food I carry on long rides: Clik Blok Shots; PowerBars; Clif Bars (but not my favorite…too dry); one or two per hour drink of choice is Gatorade and later in the ride sometimes just water and I try to go through 2 bottles per hours on hot days pre-race: always staying hydrated with water or Gatorade and have a meal 2-3 hours from my start time and then use the same bars above until race time, one per hour or so not too scientific but it works for me.
