Bob's Red barn Scottish Oats + 1 Tbsp Nutella is good stuff.

Just saw you said your going to take a week- this is doable dependent on how much you ride currently. If you ride a significant amount 6 days a week then you'd be fine, if not prepare for probably the hardest thing you will do. I'm guessing the elevation doesn't change a lot, but you need to consider that into route…

#1 Make sure you have the proper equipment (Panniers, at least a pair for the rear with a rack, on the front is also helpful. Whatever gear you need for camping. Have a plan for food, campsites, etc. There is a podcast called the Travelling Two which is helpful, and they also have a website. Don't plan on a using a carbon…

Also there is the Garmin cyclocomputer where you can upload/share your workouts with others- it's expensive, but probably my favorite thing I have on my bike.

Keep it up guys- Building up a base in cycling takes quite a bit of time. Just gradually increase you base by 25 miles or so each month and keep progressing until you get where you want to be. Pros will do upwards of 20,000 km in a year :noway: As an amateur I do 4,000 miles or so a year and that keeps me busy enough.

This is called saddle sore. Bike shorts with chamois (padding) and chamois cream (anti-bacterial & cooling) help quite a bit.

Do you race? If so what CAT?

http://www.amazon.com/End-Overeating-Insatiable-American-Appetite/dp/1605297852 This is a good book to read to help you be aware of things around you that trigger eating, and what some businesses do to food to trigger your brain into seeking out certain foods. Good read.

Some professional athletes fast over a couple days to lose weight but can keep it off because of the calorie defecits they put up. For normal people it doesn't work. Hold your self accountable and if you give in, just don't let it be huge like a box of donuts- one donut never killed anyone.

Waste of money. My aunt left a bottle behind for my parents... It overpriced Acai. FRS has more antioxidents anyways.

I would just say eat a low calorie meal, don't snack when drinking, and drink whatever you want. It's not like you have a Bachelorette Party twice a week. If my friends and I are going to have a BBQ (which is like once every few months) I still watch what I eat, but drink whatever.

Impressive. Congrats. :drinker:

Coke Zero + Whiskey There was a English Soccer (Football) manager (low level league) who changed his diet from ale to this and lost something like 100 pounds in the course of a year and this was the only change he made in his diet- he already ran a good deal.

Only thing is no breakfast items are listed... I just tried to find something I found equivilant.

If your gym has them, Versaclimber's are awesome and whip you.

To me it's all about whatever time is best to keep a high intensity. I can't get up and have a high intensity workout- so I usually wait to either after breakfast time, or just before dinner because for me that's when it seems to be that my energy is peaking.

Almost everyday I start with 2 whites and a yolk. Once in awhile I get crazy and add chicken. Boxties are awesome also if I have room for them, but haven't made them in awhile.

Victoria, BC has an awesome pecan/mushroom burger at this little vegan spot.

haha- Well I have a beer tasting on Monday which some local brewers so I am planning on saving some for then! :smokin:

One thing too is I'm not very overweight so I'm pretty fit but the Coast Guard is changing it's weight standards to BMI which is pretty tough- so I just figured I would trying burning some extra fat and muscle off to get down to a more desirable BMI (even though I believe BMI is flawed).

Do most people here use all the calories that they gain from exercising? Did 18 miles today on the bike and gained over 1100 calories- but it seems excessive to eat that much.
