Powerbars is what I keep in my hydro pack for a mid trail snack.....exception to I need a ton of water to wash it down.
Good Luck!

Yup, I have plain instant oatmeal standing by. I am eating it before bicycle rides right now to make sure I don't have any "surprises" on the trail.

During a race, I use hammer gel. Hit a packet every checkpoint. Although lately I just stick 1/3 of a cup of it in my hydration pack. If I eat anything at a check, it will be fruit. Banana, Orange, and Watermelon are my favorite.
Post race, my wife will hand me a Muscle Milk as soon as I step off the bike.
I cannot eat solids while I'm racing. Even a 6 hour enduro.

I would love the protein pancake recipe, I'll try them as soon as I get the ingredients. I agree that solids are tough, but I can't think of any other way to transport food on a 50 mile loop. I'll have bananas and oranges ready at the fuel stop, maybe I'll crush up a clif bar and mix it with something else. or not. I'll experiment this weekend. A blender, bananas, oranges, apple slices, and a clif bar. What could possibly go wrong?
