I don't really like drinking carbs enough for the last half of a 4 hour ride. Instead, I like to stop at about the halfway point on Sunday rides and just eat something. The black cherry chews with caffeine are good - I'm eating Skratch's now but Clifs are at least as good and easier to get out of the package.
