Here's the ride blog from today's ride: http://broadcomcycling.blogspot.com/2011/02/4-sisters-1-cove-2-brcm-brothers-and-3.html
For this ride, I brought 2 Shot Bloks, 2 Vanilla GUs, 4 Honey Gels, and 1 Cliff bar. I also mixed 2 additional Ultimas with the 2 that I had in the bottle. I ended up finishing everything except 1 Shot Blok gel, so it seemed to work out okay. I think my diet is helping to get me used to doing more with less, but I won't push it since nutrition is so important for these rides. I also had fig newtons last night, and the additional calories seemed to have helped to keep me from bonking.
For the Palm Springs, I hope to use the above as a baseline. While the ride is longer, there won't be as much elevation. If I get to carb up decently the night before, I hope I won't have to add too much. It'll be just more to carry.
