rodneycrater asked:
Are there some types of food and drink that are better than others? Do I have to take all those energy bars and drinks or is there regular food I can use?

My opinion many power bars have more sugar than anything else.

regular food is probably fine. people biked long distances before that stuff was invented. you dont’ have to eat it to bike long distances. yes you need calories and energy to do it. but no special foods.

Eat a large variety of foods, and go heavy in carbohydrates. The only drink you really need is water, but drink whatever you like as long as you stay hydrated. Energy bars, gatorade etc., are all just mass marketed products of capitalism. They won’t hinder you, but really, you don’t need them.

As stated, you need to build up your stamina and mustles before attempting long distances.
I would suggest that you eat a light meal prior to your ride, like salad. You wouldn’t want something heavy on your stomach while trying to exert a lot of energy. Energy bars are mainly SUGAR and will give you a SHORT increase in energy but will leave you more worn out. So avoid any sugary stuff.
As others have suggested, you need liquids.
Water, Power Ade, Gator Ade and the like. You also need salt and other nutrients. Crackers with peanutbutter in between is an Excellent source.
