What should I eat before a ride?

I have some bad news for you: The days of “pasta parties” are over. Unless your ride will be more than a couple of hours, you can stick to your normal diet the day before. You don’t want to eat too heavily before you head out, either. Good breakfast options should have a decent amount of carbohydrates and not be too rich in fats. We love eggs on toast, nut butter stirred into oatmeal, or a PB&J.
