Presumably a meal with a lot of energy in it, for example pasta. I once found out that footballers eat a lot of food and drink that is high in sugar before they play a game, so marathon runners must do something similar.

What are some high energy foods that are good on a long bicycle ride?
Night before the ride: carbohydrates are excellent. A lot of marathon-runners consume carbohydrates, such as oatmeal, the evening before a morning event because the carbohydrates will be digested by the time they wake up. During the ride: simple sugars are good if the body is in need of short-term energy. Honey is an excellent simple-sugar source, and hikers often will eat peanut-butter combined with other sugary foods to give them the high calorie intake they need. Just be careful not to make yourself sick with lots of sugar while biking ;)

What does a marathon runner drink before a race?
Spaghetti. It has plenty of 'long-term' carbohydrates that will be ready to use on tomorrow's run. Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy for running. They are coverted by the body into glucose which is used for energy. Any carbohydrates that are not immediately used are stored in the muscles as glycogen for later use. This is why carbohydrates are important for a marathon runner as the slow energy release happens over the whole marathon and gives you the energy when you need it most in the later stages.The urge to overindulge in carbohydrates the night before the race can leave you feeling sluggish so it is better to up your carbohydrate intake during the week before a race. Foods rich in carbohydrates are cereals, grains, bread, rice, barley, oatmeal, spaghetti, pasta, muffins, apricot, dates, blueberry, banana, fig, grapes, apple, orange, pear, pineapple, strawberry, watermelon, raisins, chickpeas, white beans, black eye peas, potato, sweet potato, carrot, sweetcorn, squash, nonfat milk, low fat, plain yogurt, chocolate milk and skimmed milk. For the night before I would suggest a pasta dish with a cream sauce and maybe some butternut squash. Don't overdo it as you have to run the next day. Up your carbohydrates during the week before and you should be fine.
