I personally have a hard time eating actual food on the road, so my fuel of choice is Hammer Perpetuem , 2 scoops in 20-24 oz bottle per hour. I also throw in some electrolytes especially in the summer heat and humidty in the Southeast. I also have some gel and a fig newton each 30 ish mins once I go over 90 mins. I also take along some homemade rice cakes if I will be out more than 3 hours. This has never failed me, but your needs and results will be different, but it took me while to find the proper mix that will work for me.

you should learn to embrace change, and mock it's failings every step of the way.
