Needs of longer rides

After reading at various places on the internet I have noticed following things are important for the longer rides:

1. Adjustments for Comfort. See the video below. Very helpful. So bought these aero bars: Profile Design Legacy Aero - about $60 on amazon. But these doesn't fit on GMC Denali. Returned them and found on youtube that the these ones will fit: Forté T2. Cheapest price was on Performance Bike. Picked up from a local store for $55. Fits great and are very comfortable.
2. Accessories: I found that I need to carry a tube, tools, extra water, sunscreen, phone and nutrition etc. To carry all these bought couple of different bags but finally settled on this under seat bag: Avenir Bigmouth Velcro Seat Bag (Large- 73/106 Cubic Inches). $14 on Amazon. Also bought a arm band for my iPhone 4S. This one (Sport Armband for iPhone 4S Bundled with EX3 Armband Extender-fits iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3G / 3GS) fits perfectly without taking the iPhone out of the Incipio NGP cover. $17 of Amazon.
3. Nutrition: Read a lot about sports nutrition. In a nutshell it is about fast absorbing carbs. Your body uses carbs in high intensity exercise. These carbs are stored in your muscles in form of glycogen. You muscles have storage for about 70-90 minutes of duration. But you need to keep replenishing the glycogen if you want to keep going for longer durations. So it is about before, during and after the exercise. These articles are helpful. After reading the below articles I settled on GU Energy Gels and will report their effectiveness after the next ride.
