Good pair of properly fitting shorts is all you need. Never used chamois cream in my life.

fast bike, strong legs

Don't forget the grill...awesome

Base performance...whey

999tigger mentioned intensity which is the key. The only true way to measure work/calories burned is with a HR monitor. I can burn 1,000 calories in an hour, but at a HR of 145 bpm or 80% maximum HR As I get fitter and my body becomes more efficient, I either have to increase my effort or ride longer to burn calories at…

I saw a guy on a fat bike on a Sat morning ride with a slow roadie group (14-16 mph). That takes balls...

cloggsy71...did cowbells kit make your eyes bleed or are you trying too hard?

Stevia!!!

I've ridden a Spiuk Z51M Mountain shoe for 6 years...not one issue.

drops actually work to eliminate cravings and hunger. The rest of the plan is healthy eating.

oh yeah...lost 10 lbs to date ...no exercise.

Trying Pure Slim now. The "snake oil drops" as called out by someone eliminate any cravings or hunger pangs. After that, it is a three phase program concentrating on eating a healthy diet.

SIDI ERGO carbon...good options with SIDI especially with wide feet Find what fits best.

did you check out statebicycle.com?

Anyone riding? Took out the 29"r single speed today on the snow covered gravel trails. 70 minutes riding in the snow at 24F or -4 C for the Big Yin.

NBC sports network also has a great fantasy tour game

I decided to bike instead of going to work...does that count?

How about a good calorie burn for the day and eat any pizza you want?(in moderation, of course)

I CHOOSE to blow through lights and stop signs when it is safe knowing full well that I can be ticketed just like a motorist.

We also need Roadie vs. MTB vs Triathlete

MyFitnessPal "fast" (16-20mph) - 1949 Based upon MFP above, you burn the same amount of calories for 16 mph as 20 mph.. Huge difference in effort. This number is not valid for both efforts. Get a HR monitor to determine actual calories burned.

Get a HR monitor. If I followed MFP for calories burned, I would be shorting myself. I tend to ride at 80-85% max HR which means in one hour, I can burn 1000 calories. If I used some of the MFP listings, calories burned would be down around 600-700 calories....not that those are wrong, but the individual rode at a much…
