MrSmyth do you take a bite every 20 mins on the bike on longer rides? I also have a fast metabolism.
I usually carry a banana and a gel even on < 40 mile rides, but they don't always get eaten.
For 40-80 mile rides I usually eat a couple of bananas and a snickers/coconut bar/malt loaf piece.
On longer rides than that I'll be going a bit slower so will probably stop and eat some normal food aswell as all the sweet stuff.
