My understanding, and my experience, is that VLC is tough for endurance. That said, I know of keto-adapted cyclists that ride hours and hours with little more than a few hands full of almonds.

@electriq I started riding seriously a few years ago with a 3 day AIDS ride. (Boston to New York), so my road riding has mostly been endurance based. I feel under-trained for Saturday's ride, a result of the late spring. (I'm not going to *kitten* about today's snow. I'm not. I refuse.) But I know I'll be able to slog…

So great to hear everyone's optimism! I cranked out a longer (but not long enough) bike ride today. It's still cold to be comfortable for too long; so hard to figure out the layers in these temps.

@electriq‌ It's my first brevet of what I hope to be a full season. (Including passing through your town quickly) http://bicycletimesmag.com/beginners-guide-randonneuring/ Hope you enjoyed your dance class.

Overlapping what a few people have said above- By getting to know some of the farmers in my area, I learned that some of them haven't bothered with the trouble or expense of becoming "certified organic", but use practices that meet or exceed 'organic' standards. Their product is usually much more affordable than grocery…

Ugh! I'm having one of those days where I want to eat EVERYTHING. TWICE! Pretty sure it's anxiety/stress. My first big bike event of the season is next Sat, and the endless winter has kept me from training like I should/want/need. It's snowing again today! I'm trying to funnel the anxious energy into chores, but what I…

Welcome, and congrats on getting off to a good start. What's the Hal Higdon program?

A relaxed day here too. Off to the gym. Then some errands. And if the rain comes as predicted, this afternoon might be perfect for a nap! ;)

Yes. Generally, motorbike is UK, and motorcycle North American. Bicycles with assisting motors are new enough not to have a standard reference, but are generally called electric bikes, or just e-bikes.

Mornin' all! I'm up, and ready to attack both my day, and the rest of the week. (I had a really weird/stressful weekend that kinda left my head spinning. Shaking it off and moving forward! A lot to look forward to: Lifting today, old friends visiting town, and meeting them for dinner (and meeting their baby for the first…

Kettlebell Deadlifts are also a good way to use lighter weight and different grip for a safer introduction to the lift

We're all over it. All. Over. It.

"On Fleek", as the kids are saying! Bra-effin'-vo!

Hey Guys. I'm trying to re-engage & re-commit to MFP after falling off the wagon for a while. (picks self up. dusts self off. lifts chin) I'd appreciate more connections, and thusly humbly(?) resubmit the intro I posted a couple of years ago.

Excellent! Feel free to message me if you have any questions/need any tips for the city. I've arranged for some fresh snow for you. :neutral_face:

Hi all- Thought I'd join in, as I could use a mite more engagement with /commitment to MFP. I had a huge workout today, spinning followed by a appointment with my trainer/coach/PT. (I have a long standing shoulder issue that is finally rehabed, but he's teaching me to broaden my exercise repertoire safely and…

Specialized S-works, all bought on clearance.

I've found it's pretty much a requirement to include temperature ranges for these kinds of topics. Also, for what it's worth, I think I have I have colder-than average toes and fingers. I start with the toe caps once the temps are averaging in the 60s. This is when I also cover the vents on the soles of my shoes with…

Ha! Connecticut Yankee, here, so similar. And the Netflix is shared, so I only pay half!

Thanks, TBY. Those are actually the two biggest sources I'd already seen. GCN's workouts seem well structured, but the energy level is best suited for a nursing home. And CTXC's music might come straight from summer nights at the Jersey Shore (or it just makes me feel old. Not sure there...) But I refuse to pay for…

Nice. I have a sock problem that goes well beyond my cycling. I once made the mistake of counting how many pairs I have... Once.

I must confess that the pics aren't my doing - It's an uncommon set up, and the dealer I bought it from took pictures to make it their 'Bike of the week'.

End because of the show-stopping dazzle of my new ride? I'd hate to think I broke the internet with her wonder. :wink:

This just happened this morning... (Images a bit big, but resizing is a bit beyond me. Apologies.)

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^ I don' always find it 'easy' to eat clean, but I do find it WAY easier to stay within my kcal limits and macros when I do.

It's really only exercise if you spend all morning in bed on a weekday. You only wasted your Sunday. Sorry!

And if you're looking for a meal replacement drink, Orgain is WAY better than the chemical-laden ones like Ensure.

Another to say yes and yes- -I actually have a pair of liner shorts that I bought just for spin, and always wear gym shorts over them. All my road kit is bib, and that seems over the top for the gym. -I switched to Speedplay pedals last year, so now my SPD shoes are dedicated spin shoes. They're kind of near the end of…

Wow!! Way behind that. I did spend all of 30 seconds looking for current CitiBike's usage stats, but I care rarely be bothered with anything not on the first page of google results... Only the seat height adjusts. As it's meant to be a utilitarian ride from Point A to point B there's no need for a micro-managed fitting.

It's NYC's new bike sharing program. A huge swath of the city is dotted with bike docks like these (with 12-40 spaces). Annual membership is $95, and allows for unlimited rides up to 45 minutes long. It easly allows me to commute, run errands, run around town without dealing with or woring about my bike, and it has saved…
