I've started doing a weekly 25 mile bike ride. The first time I went
that far I ate no food along and only drank water the way and felt
utterly exhausted.

I've found that I start feeling a bit fatigued about half way through
and I've taken to eating a Turkish Delight washed down with a bottle
of Lucozade which seems to give me a noticeable boost of energy.

What does everyone else do to keep their energy up on long rides?

For eating 'on the move' a banana or two, and my wife makes a
jam-filled shortcake biscuit 'thing'. And a couple of Mars/choccy bar
of choice.

Dilute orange/lemon/blackcurrant and water.
