In the middle of burning 2000 calories it seems to be a good idea to
eat a few calories along the way.

Yes.

Does it matter much what one eats?

Yes.

Does it make a difference if it's during rather than after a ride?

Yes.

I would think simple sugars like fruit and even candy would be OK while
you're riding

Yes, depending on the length of the ride.

(who carries pasta salad? I've seen some!)

Usually a rice salad, either French or Chinese style, for a long ride.

But does it make a big
difference in general for 2-3 hours 30-50 miles?

Depends on a lot of things. If you're riding 50 miles in two hours, I'd
think you'd need more refueling than if you're riding 30 in three.

Spare us nothing. Your domesticity is always a delight for all of us male
slobs to ponder here on RBM.

Claire of the Slavic last name obviously knows next to nothing about what
hard working cyclists need in the way of fuel. We needs lots of fat, salt
and sugar. You can get this in any convenience store. I recommend several
Milky Way candy bars, several packages of potato chips and several bottles
of soda pop. You should have this every hour or so. That way you will get
all the fat, salt and sugar that you need to keep on cycling.

If you are in Wisconsin, you can fuel up on beer. Every other house along
your route will have a beer parlor in the basement where you can go and
chug-a-lug as much as you please. Mr. Tom Sherman of this newsgroup, ARBR ,
will guide you to these very desirable hovels.

But don't blame me if you end up looking like a typical Wisconsin cyclist -
a big fat belly and weighing 100 pounds more than you should. I do believe
Wisconsin has the fattest slobs on earth and Wisconsin cyclists are no
exception to the prevailing zeitgeist that exists there. What is really
disgusting is that these Wisconsin cyclists like to wear tight fitting
clothing so that we can all appreciate just how revolting they are.

By the way, only slender teenagers should ever wear tight fitting clothing.
The rest of us should be wearing tents.

More dogmatic rubbish for the man who does it best. There are no
teenagers in the professional peloton and they all wear tight fitting
clotthing and look quite good in it too.

Obesity is rampant in this country. Teenagers are fatter than ever. It has
become a disease which is sapping the strength of the nation. We are doomed
if we continue on our present path.

Pelotons don't matter. They never have and they never will.

Then there are the Wisconsin specialties of bratwursts, butter burgers
and frozen custard to accompany the beer.

Isn't frozen custard the reason God created Milwaukee?

I hope Claire with the Slavic last name is taking all of this good stuff in.
I'm going out to my kitchen now and get a pizza out of the fridge. It is my
understanding that tomato sauce is very good for one's health. l will have a
bit of the old vino too as it is suppose to be good for the blood
circulation (according to the latest TV bulletin). Yea, live healthy or die!
