BTW, It's Glycogen!

Therefore on a long hard ride I assume that your body can't break down the fat (metabolizing??) quick enough when you run out / are running out of Glycogen ?(hence the need to eat?)
Cheers,

If you carry a GPS while riding (as I often do for Geocaching with a PDA and BT GPSr) then compare distance travelled on your bike computer with that of the GPS odometer. I now have my bike computer within a few metres at 10 km.
It's also interesting to drop your GPS track file into Google Earth. I keep a record of my more interesting rides, and can email them to another rider to view.
