boy that 5km route must be tedious by now, you must have worn a groove around it! Look at bikely.com and find some routes in your area, you need to get off that 5km lap. I feel for the locals in your area who must count you 25 times each weekend.

Anyway try the Clif Bars, now they are good, easy to chew and digest, lots of vitamins, don't stick to your mouth and when you unwrap a Cool Mint Chocolate bar on a ride it's such a treat to just look at the beautfully designed drizzle on top of the bar. I've heard the Penaut Butter flavour bar is good but I just love the chocolate one and cant get myself off them! I bought a box of them and had to ration them to myself - only one bar if I'm riding over 75k, it's good for motivation
