Definitely. I freelance as a tour manager on charity bike rides, like London – Paris, LEJOG, that sort of thing, and we always provide fresh fruit, nuts and water as an absolute minimum at rest stops. Spend four consecutive days cycling and living off energy gels and powder drinks and it has one of two effects on your digestive system, and neither is good. There’s nothing you get from those that you can’t get from a banana and a handful of peanuts.
Joe – shame on you! Get off your bike, go and pick that up, and take it home to dispose of properly. Do it now – don’t make me make you sit on the naughty step.
And, unless baby food containers have evolved since I last looked, that’s a glass jar he just tossed, adding an obstacle for riders following their route. Bad, Joe, Bad!
Side Bar:
Last week I went to NY’s Hudson Valley and rode several “Rails To Trails”.
One in particular was absolutely gorgeous and ended by crossing the Hudson River 212 feet above the water.
If you are ever in that part of NY, this is a must… http://www.walkway.org/index.php
Or if you’re ever in central Iowa, check out the High Trestle Trail. 130-some feet above the Des Moines River valley. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/131533
If you visit, remember to make a stop at the Flat Tire Lounge (right alongside the trail in Madrid) for food and liquid refreshments.
Hmmm, I’m going to have to taiea a look at the “Nutrition Facts” on a few Gerber bobbles.
if one were to pick up a few of the refillable travel toiletry tubes…
Ha! This reminds me of a few training rides back in the day. One ride the hammer was down and I was at my limit, yet I had to eat. The banana was not really chewed just bit and swallowed. This was evident to me the next day…. Another ride I was out of food and close to bonking. Buddy Rick gave me an apple. I ate every bit, the core, the seeds, the little fuzzy bit at the bottom.
Performance bars are such a scam. Fig bars in all their varieties will serve just as well.

Best strip, by the way. And what’s up with that “URelocation is a U.S.A. based free shipping consultant agency. We match your shipment with reputable moving providers, who can offer you both advice and quotes.” post in last week’s strip? Damn spammers…
What’s wrong with you Joe – Baby food is packed with good stuff!
Made up of freshly ground up babies…

Bananas – nature’s Mars Bar.
Hey, I’m among the first ones here!! Baby food, come on man!!

Fran: Your comment peaked my interest. What are, “travel toiletry tubes.” I’m guessing your idea would be right up my alley… Mhendri961@gmail.com
Since Joe is being a cranky baby Yehuda’s food choice was just right.
Guess Joe was really that hungry if he can be picky, and grumpy, about the food he is being given.
