Like they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why not
eat something first, or even your whole breakfast? If I try to ride on
an empty stomach I get a kind of mini-bonk after about 12-15 miles then
come home and eat more than usual. These morning rides are usually at a
somewhat leisurely 12-15 MPH just to kick start the metabolism.
Conclusion: Everybody is different.
