I like your sense of humor. ;-) Since this is a question about nutrition, i.e. the lack of, I'd say the nutrition forum is the proper place for this. The big thing is that I'd like to avoid is losing my hard earned muscle at the end of the racing season. Thanks, Jeo

This is my second year of being a Muslim, but I only lasted two and a half days without eating or drinking during last year's Ramadan. Obviously I would like to do better this time around. For those who do not know the requirement is to not eat or drink during daylight hours during the month...

I waited nine days and rode for about 25 minutes. I didn't seem to have any increased swelling until riding a a few days after than when I rode for an hour. That made the vas deferens area (well what's left of them) swell a bit, but it wasn't painful. At that point I started riding every day...

I only started riding regularly again about a month and a half ago but since then I've been riding about 8-15 miles twice a work day as part of my commute. I'll then do longer rides of 25-40 miles on the weekends. Last season I was commuting about 60 miles total every work day so I haven't...

I had my first (Cat 5) USCF race last weekend; The Tour Di Anna. It was a three part stage race in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Saturday morning was the three mile time trial. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I started off the first bit going 25 (no aero bars) but just pushed it...

Yeah, I'm actually planning on selling my other bike (2005 Honda Rebel) because gas, insurance, and the general unreliability of the motorycle motivates me to ride my road bike even more. Of the year I've had the motorcycle, it's been in the shop around 9 weeks. I commute every day, take my...

Glad to hear you didn't miss out too bad money wise. The bike shop said mine would cost around $12-15 and they can do it today. I've got a race this weekend so I don't want to take a chance on me messing up my only wheel. Also, since my bike is my car, my wife had to drop me off at work today...

Hey Brian, Did you figure out what was going on with the broken spokes? I've got the same rims and hubs. I bought them from Jensen USA last summer. Maybe you did too... I broke a spoke today on the freewheel side. Jeo

There's a thread on road versus mtb shoes on here somewhere... I'm a roadie and use (very stiff) shimano mtb shoes. I like being able to walk in them. I used to wear real road shoes, but I always seemed to turn my ancle every once in a while. I don't see a performance benefit to road shoes...

No such thing as a stupid question. I know it's weird, but a lot of people try and sabotage your fitness, particularly when they're lazy mo fos. Tell your friend to ride for a month and see how he feels. :)

Could be wrong on this one, but I read in one of Carmichael's training books that overtraining can be indicated by an overly high resting heart rate. So for example, if it's normally 60 bpm first thing in the morning and after a couple days of riding it's 75, then that's a likely indicator of...

Yeah, some guy had one on a training ride last week. He just took off at one point on that thing. Descended like a madman too. I'd sure get one if I could.

Yeah, I think I'll wait a bit then. Thank you.

So does anyone know where to get one of these aftermarket? http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2005/tour05/tech/?id=mazzoleni_cannondale/IMG_0558 And I don't want to spend two grand US either. ;-)
