Brian, Lots of good advice on this-and there are a lot of opinions out there-in the book, "Paleo Diet for the Athlete" by Joe Friel.
He tells how to calculate your carb and water intake for your specific body weight. Check it out.

It was a fairly rain-free day, and I was able to get away from home for the morning, so I took advantage of it. I rode my AHH and had another trouble-free comfy Riv experience. I had just replaced the crank - formerly an XD 700 48/34t double. I put my older Suntour XC Pro crank with a 46/32t double config (left off a granny ring), and set it up a few nights before. I was glad for the slightly lower (32-32) gearing, as there were definitely hills on this ride. I also found that going between the former 170mm length of the Sugino to the 175mm Suntour didn't make much of an impact on me. It felt totally fine. I used both front and rear Acorn bags, and overpacked clothing, but ended up missing on the food side. This ride didn't have too many convenience stores, and I was on a roll to finish it with minimal stops. > That was a mistake. I had done a lot of commuting the week before, and was pretty tired by Saturday. This was after a month off the bike (holidays, colds, etc...). I managed to meet up with a great chap who ran about the same pace, and we jabbered on and on until I started to realize all was not well. I had a bit of a pre-bonk at about the half-way point, and quickly ate some trail mix and a granola bar, and downed some water. This got me to about 95k, and then I really just lost my legs and felt dizzy. I made it in, but had to eat, and stop for more food/water on the way home so I wouldn't fall asleep. > Hmmm - not too good at this longer ride nutrition stuff yet. Oh well, I have to get that sorted, as it was a great ride. Not a lot of traffic on the island, and I saw a couple bald eagles along the way - one really loud immature bird.
