I am still mulling over how much to eat on the 12 hour TT this weekend.
Interesting couple of articles here

Based on latter I have done some sums:
Assuming I weigh 73kg on the day of the ride and that I am pretty fit I will have
73 * 25 cals of onboard glycogen so around 1900 cals.
Assuming I do my plan 220W per hour then I will be using something like
220 * 12 * 3600/1000 = 9500kj
I reckon I am pretty high efficency so cals = 9500 * 1.05 = 10000
The ride will be a bit harder than easy so say 60% of cals come from carb = 6000
So less 1900 from onboard so means I will need to eat around 4100 cals during the ride, about 340 cals per hour.
So that's my plan...interesting to see how it turns out
