His racing accomplishments aside, Vic Copeland is a really nice guy. He is a gracious competitor
whether winning or losing. If you knew him, you wouldn't be making disparaging comments about him in
a public forum.

BTW, where is there a 4 way stop before Torrey Pines? There is a downhill from Del Mar (with a light
where Carmel Valley Road t's into 101 that you can run), then it's clear from there.

That's confusing to us VA boys. How can obesity be on the rise, but acceptance not be??

Of all of the racers in SD, Vic has to be one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Since I spend a
lot of time with him at the track all summer, I can tell you that more often than not, he's smiling
and chatting away with about anyone that talks to him. Occasionally all of us suffer from a lack of
thinking...

I'm trying to figure out this 4-way thing too. Since I ride up and down the coast almost every day
(no hills for me thanks!) I can't think of any 4-ways except the light at DM Heights, and some stops
in DM itself. Is that where you're talking about?

When I read Bret's posting I figured it was the last stop sign on 101 as you are leaving Del Mar
going in the southbound direction. Most (Saturday) riders take a back street shortcut which avoids
the whole of downtown (if you'd call it that) Del Mar, including this stop sign.

I'll second what Mike and Henry say about Vic Copeland - he is a very outwardly friendly and
unassuming person.

It's a two-pronged assault by commercial interests.

1. They want you to buy lots of food (super size it!). More is better. Consume mass quantities!

2. Most anyone can be fat. Not everyone can be thin. So thinness is a scare commodity, especially
where there is lots of greasy sugary food available. They've taken the relative scarcity of
thinness and marketed it as a commodity. Sure, you can't buy thinness, but you can buy a magazine
with a picture of a thin woman on the front. You can watch TV shows with thin people. You can buy
a diet pills or a gym membership to try to join in on the thinness. Non-cyclists have been
programmed to appreciate and desire thinness. Cyclists have their own appreciation of thinness -
power-to-weight ratio.

#1 makes you fat, and tends to ensure the ongoing scarcity of thinnes.

#2 makes you dislike fatness.

agreed.
a. Vic's always a great & humble guy. (even more so off a bicycle)
b. *Most* of us have made a stupid move on at least one training ride in our lives. why hold Vic
to a higher standard?

Same place I assume he meant. FWIW, I have been singled out, and received the lone ticket, at this
very intersection by the Del Mar Police from a group of approximately 30 riders who all ran through
the stop sign together. I happened to be 1 bike length behind the pack at the time.

I feel dumb now. I thought she was iceskating somewhere on a highway. Never occured to me that
inlines would be called skating ;)

Nice ride Heather and thanks for the URL Ohioburg.

Okay, let's try this again; You are supposed to spin down first, like everyone should after a race
or hard ride (to clear the lactic acid from your legs) and have a RECOVERY drink or snack, not just
hop off your bike after your sprint finish and down a Big-Mac or something. Sheesh! 2 hours is too
long to wait before having any calories, I bet you would have better recovery if you had carbs and
protein (again, 4:1) shortly after your race, as recovery cannot begin until you get fuel into you.
And you have wrong about the Glycogen window; 2 hours is when you are supposed to have a MEAL, not
your first calories. Got it?

I've learned alot during 24 years of racing but I'm confused by your writing, and/or you are by
mine. I never said wait two hours.I questioned why you would start eating protein after only 15
minutes because the blood is still engorged in your legs and takes awhile to get to your digestive
system. Eating protein or alot of carbs after only 15 minutes may cause digestion problems. The cool
down and lactic acid that you mention are irrelevant for digestion.

I got the impression from your writing above that there is a window that begins closing after only
30 minutes. You provide no evidence for this. Common knowledge says that two hours, not 30 minutes
is when this window begins to close. Our esteemed Chief Science Officer Andy Coggan says the two
hour thing is no longer accurate and that the whole "window" concept is hardly relevant. He also
says the ratio should now be 5:1 to 4:1. He thinks yogurt is a good choice, as do I.

And just so we're clear, I finish all my rides or skis with 15 minutes easy effort, begin sipping
Gatorade about 15 minutes after the excercise ends, eat some protein with more complex carbs at
somewhere near 4:1 ratio about one hour after, and then eat the same ratio at about two hours after
unless it's after 6-7pm.

So how is it you train yourself so that the blood leaves your legs and goes to your stomach within
minutes? That is what you said isn't it?

You never know what two years might do. I was an unwaivering 137 lbs my whole life (very skinny at
5'8"). I could eat anything (and did). Until 41 years old when I got married, fathered a son and now
at 43 I am 157 lbs.

That¹s what Henry aka "Parrot Boy" does not get...........

Because he has not done either one of those things.

Yes, I've heard that having a baby often leads to weight gain-for the mother! Perhaps you should
stop stealing his formula and go for the strained peas instead.

Do you alter your ratio or timing if you're trying to shave off some fat? I threw about 10 lbs of
real flabby fat on this winter and am trying to shed
it. So, after a training , I've been waiting about an hour to eat and then it's a high protein (47g
protein, 25g carb) shake

It's been a few years and maybe I'm a little confused about exactly where DM is. I'm talking about a
section on 101? just north of Tory Pines where there's a series of 2-3 4-way stops just before you
start the long climb up to where the weekend rides start. Maybe they're not there any more. I think
the turn-off for the park road is in the same area. I stand by my comments. A car had to lock up
it's brakes so he could get his gap.

Okay. Like I said, that was my only experience with him. I'm willing to change my opinion
considering the unanimous support here. Even Henry likes him!?
