When I was putting in 2 hr rides before work (5 - 7 am), I would eat during the ride, not before.
My stomach wasn't ready for food when I got up (4:30ish), so I would eat about an hour into the ride. I'd eat about 250 kcal, i.e. a Power Bar (dating myself), or banana, or half a PB sandwich, or 5-6 fig newtons, etc. Then I'd get home, shower/shave, eat breakfast, go to work.
You should experiment to see what works for you. I found that my eating habits needed to be trained too: it felt like I was better able to digest and use calories eaten on the bike after doing it for a while, whereas the first couple of times eating on the bike left me feeling a little bloated and gassy. I suggest trying various strategies for a minimum of 3 weeks or so (assuming 3-4+ rides/wk) each. See how each feels.
