I find fueling epic rides a touch tricky. But probably do the opposite to you Earthloop. I'm used to munching energy bars, and smashing energy gels. So carry this forward onto a an endurance ride. Except as Doc Hutch says, if I'm cruising at low watts, I'm probably burn far less sugar. So it turns to magma in my gut instead.
In france I just ate loads of 'normal' Food. Then smashed a energy bar/gel before a hard Climb. I did bonk a couple times. Once when overheated, and once when generally fucked. But for the most part it worked.
