i've started eating bananas and flapjack on 2hr+ off-road riding (trail centres) after having bonked out the first time when I tried it on an empty stomach. the fact that i've got a fast metabolism didn't help either.
i think it's as much the concentration which tires me out as the physical, i'm not sure i'd eat as much on the road, even though i'd be covering more miles.
if i start to feel hungry then it's too late. the same applies with water.
