Do not forget electrolytes. A year or two ago, on an exercise ride I was doing of about 70 miles, on the last 20 miles I had no energy. I had ridden that ride several other times in similar weather with similar food and water, but this time I just had no energy after about 50 miles. Later I decided that I probably was short on electrolytes, now I always keep some salty snacks in my handlebar bag on longer rides.
