10-mile
Here's your key - it's only a 10. If I'd had porridge at 8, I wouldn't worry too much about a 10 six hours later. If you were really trying to squeeze every possible marginal gain out of it, you wouldn't be dicking about for 2½ hours after breakfast. Worry about hydration, and if you're hungry when you get on the train...

Quick caffeine gel 20 minutes before the start, and you're good to go. Like @mdcc_tester says, it's only a 10.

Nutrition advice
I'm doing a 10-mile TT on Saturday at 2pm. I'm leaving home at 9, then occupied between then and 11:30, when I'll get the train to near the TT, then ride 10 miles to the start.
I'll have opportunity to eat at home until 9, then will need to eat on the move after that.
My inclination is to take some sandwiches with me, or grab something from the station, but not exactly getting inspired by pasties and flapjacks. My normal exercise fuel is porridge and bananas.
Any recommendations for TT fuelling while running around doing other shit?
