The deeper into the ride, the more starch and sugar helps me, even if it's junk food. I try not to eat much junk food, but on a long ride, it seems to help. Err on the side of eating too much on a long ride. Occasionally, I'll feel beat and out of fuel, and I'll have a sugary drink, and I'll perk right up. I don't even like sugary drinks.
