My New Bike

[duckwrench13]

Heh, yeah, every time I go on a group ride, people are drinking from bottles that look like leftovers from a Ghostbusters movie, and are passing around enough powder and pills to fill a Tarantino film. I'm just sitting there drinking water and eating a granola bar...

Yep, nutritional experimentation...scary .

Personally, I'm a fan of keeping it simple. A decent diet, sufficient rest, and plenty of fluids... mainly H2O and juice.  On a ride, usually an energy bar that actually resembles and tastes like real food stuffs, and a couple of packets of electrolyte mix if I need em. And of course, plenty of water.

I've found that if I can't pronounce the ingredients, then I probably don't want to eat it. It should be food, not a high school chemistry set.

guys are just better at lots of the things I like to do.   

Pfft, only if you accept that as fact.

Agreed. Well, in theory. In practice, I usually manage to get no sleep before rides, and I can feel it.

That's not a bad way to go about things in general, on a bike or not. In fact, I vaguely recall being taught this in some kind of nutrition class in elementary school. "If you can't pronounce the ingredient, it's probably not good for you."

Hey Rob, is the bike riding helping you sleep better at night?

No =(

I thought it would. I still cant fall asleep before 2:00am

All though the exercise has some other interesting side effects

Ok, let me qualify that...the best guys are often better than me at the things I like to do.  I tend to hold my own pretty well against the average schmoe.
