Yes I guess I didn't read *and understand* exactly what you wrote. I only read the first part about
you stating that he was wrong and triggered on that. However since you confess to needing carbs you
can't say that he's wrong either. A pro probably wouldn't need any carbs at an average of 21 mph but
you and me more likely do
