When you say that it doesn't hold you over for long, do you mean that you
feel hungry or do you mean that you feel like you're running on fumes? Everybody burns a different blend of fuel stores - at the lower intensity of endurance rides, you can train yourself to lean more heavily on fat stores, but this doesn't help you the night before - but you should still have a couple thousand calories on tap, even on an empty stomach. Definitely a good idea to snack and replenish on rides that outstrip those stores, though.
