On ride that's more than a century long, I snacked/drink every 20 miles as the longer the miles, the more you start to feel the effect of certain food in your body affect your energy levels.
I almost crashed due to not knowing how many miles/long I was on the saddle for during the Dunwich Dynamo after my stomach turn inside out trying to grawl on whatever fuel I have left, when I stopped for a bits, I realised I've been riding non-stop for 3 hours.
50-75 miles ride, only a couple sweet and a pub lunch is more than enough to keep me going.
