I don't really use gels unless I'm doing 100+ miles, I try to use more natural products as you say.
Thanks for your response, I will definitely focus on the drinking.
Paul.
I have set my garmin to beep once every 15 mins to remind me to drink. I agree it can be difficult in cold weather. A glass of water before starting and a glass after arriving home will also help...0 -

Hey group -- figured this would be a good question to poll you with. What weather conditions, if any, cause you to not ride outside?0
-
@hophead28 - Winter - Ice, snow, wind chill, temps below 40 degrees. Spring/Summer - strong/gusty winds, lightning, torrential rain.
I'm pretty much a wimp when it comes to cold, would much rather be hot. Been caught in thunderstorms many times. Don't mind getting wet, but I definitely don't like cloud to head lightning.0 -
Hey group -- figured this would be a good question to poll you with. What weather conditions, if any, cause you to not ride outside?
Monsoon rain and pollution index over 130 though I prefer not to ride in full sun where possible as I can't find a sunscreen that I can't sweat off0 -
Hey group -- figured this would be a good question to poll you with. What weather conditions, if any, cause you to not ride outside?
1) Really rutty, icy roads.
2) Cold rain ... like when it is just above freezing and pouring rain
Otherwise I have cycled in everything from -40 C/F to + 40C and all sorts of weather.

I ride a stationary bike in the computer room and watch TV. The traffic outside scares me too much.0 -
We had a Thanksgiving potluck at work yesterday, and I tried to be good, but still ate too much. So I came home from work and rode 20 miles to work it off. Scales only went up 1/4 of a pound. So I guess it all evened out.

I dont mind rain but I usually wont start a home based ride if it's actively raining. I am now dealing with 40-45F degree start times for my commutes but I am hanging in there. I hope ride a few more weeks before it gets too cold to commute.

I just did 90 minutes in the gym today. In the warmer months I average about 60 miles a week outside. This winter I'm going to try to keep it up inside. Hopefully netflix helps me through the boredom of indoor cardio 0
