Hey girls!
I am pretty new to cycling (road), and I'm just starting to train for my first big event - the BP MS 150 (charity ride from Houston to Austin) in April. Can anyone out there reccommend any websites/books that would have a good training/nutrition program laid out? I'm already fit - have been a regular exerciser for over a year now - but I'm a little clueless on what my regimen should be for the bike specifically.... And when you guys are training for an event, about how many calories a day do you eat? I know it must be more than normal - just curious.... Thanks!

Re: Hey girls!
Sorry not a girl, but I can recommend a great nutrition book. "Food for Fitness" by Chris Carmichael(Lance's coach). A most read for any athlete to help them better understand nutrition. It devotes an entire section to women's specifc needs and entire diet plans based on sex and weight.

Re: Hey girls!
The Chris Carmichael book is definitely a good one.
I have 2 additional books that I really like. Both are sports nutrition books as opposed to being focused on cycling, but both are excellent. The books are: Eat Smart Play Hard, by Liz Applegate. The author is on the faculty of the Nutrition Department at the University of California, Davis - more info on her at http://www.lizapplegate.com/about.html Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, by Nancy Clark. She is a sports nutritionist - more info on her at http://www.nancyclarkrd.com/.
