Geeze, everyone knows that!

It's the cake and biscuits you have with the
coffee on the break in the middle of your ride
that effects performance.

have a look at the PDF attachment......

this study shows that caffeine is beneficial

I drink flat coke as a pick-me-up on my long rides 4h+ for a long lasting energy boost on
the way back.
If you ever see a guy with a dark liquid in his 2nd bottle - that's me.

re caffine tests (old one) lve heard that drugs like LSD +cocaine and
caffine were administered to spiders to see their effects on web
making.And interestingly enough the coke and LSD spiders carried on with
their perfect web making ,but the caffine spider flipped out and made a
erratic web!! Spiders can't hack coffee, (it was probably instant coffee
full of chemicals!)

Hmmm...
Are you implying that we might be better off dropping tabs of Acid rather
than sipping coffee before that Sunday morning ride? A short trip around the
park?

I'm guessing that I'm not going to be able to buy these tabs of 'Lon
Slow Distance' at, say, Cecil Walker or Freedom Machine? ;-

Would make the commute a little more interesting I'm sure... :-
