Thanks for the link to that article; some very interesting stuff. Oh, and so far so good since my last post, thanks to everyone advice: cycling about an hour after a snack of just a banana and a small bowl of cereal, and then eating plenty on the ride has been working great for me, including a few 20 mile rides that turned into 40 mile rides just because was feeling particularly good. I still haven't attacked that one hill the same way I did before, though, so I guess that'll be the true test.
