My Tri buddy swears by eating
a good breakfast and drinking only Gatorade...He also mentioned that
one dosen't get any more bag for your buck/carbs etc. using sport
drinks and gels. Is he more loopy that usual?

Is he faster than you? Maybe he knows something you don't.

On a 2 hour ride, Gatorade alone should be fine. Depending on how hard you
ride and how much breakfast you ate, that may be enough for a 4 hour ride,
too. Bring along a couple of energy bars just in case. You can eat that
after 2 or 3 hours if necessary.
