After Leadville my food looked a bit different than when I left Waterton Canyon. I always had a decent amount of GU's, bars, and Clif shot blocks. I also took several dehydrated meals. I started off just eating the dinners all the time but I found I really dug the breakfast ones in the morning. Stay clear of the eggs they were horrible. The best was the granola and blueberries. If I passed through towns, I would get 2 pastries or coffee cakes or something like that for the next morning.
After Leadville I started eating breakfast (granola) and a bar. I would use GU and bars to ride a full 6-7 hours with no breaks. Then I would stop and stretch, clean up a bit, cook a hot meal like Mac and Cheese or Stroganoff and then I usually took a little nap for 30-45 minutes. I was able to ride well into the evening (sometimes until 11-12) on GU and bars. When I stopped for the night, I would have another bar, a small bottle of water with 2 scoops of Perpetuem (Flounder's description is spot on but it's not THAT bad), then another small bottle with 2 scoops of Recoverite (also by Hammer). Then I would crash.
Hammock was nice but even with an underquilt, I still got chilly at times when I had to camp anywhere 10,500 to 11,500. There were several nights when I just slept on the ground in my bag and wished I didn't have the hammock and UQ. Of course, I got lucky it didnit rain but a solo tent or fly/footprint combo would still be smaller and keep me dry.
Clothing was tough cuz I didn't wanna bring too much but I knew there would times when I'd cold. I rode in jersey and bib shorts. I would clean them when I could. I slept in Marmot rian pants (cut off below knees) and I had one of their Precip jackets. A Craft base layer was my favorite piece of clothing. Also had arm/knee warmers, a beanie, and wool socks.
