I was reading Chris Carmichael's The Ultimate Ride and while I was reading the nurition before/during/after training part he mentioned drinking a sports drink plus eating other things pre-training/ride and something with a 4:1 carb/protein ratio after. Of course he didn't say it in those terms but those things we mentioned. I was curious as to what qualifies as a good sports drink and what qualifies as a good carb/protein mix drink. The only drink I know of in terms of a sports drink is Gatorade/Powerade and I have no knowledge of a 4:1 carb/protein ratio drink. I've also been told when i did training for golf that when drinking gatorade it should be mixed in with water to a 5:1 water/gatorade ratio. I'm not sure if that transfers over to cycling. Anyways any answers are appreciated.
One last newb question. It gets colder and colder as the weeks go by here and I have a stationary to ride on inside. Except it makes a ton of noise and I don't want to **** of my parents. I want to go buy something that will hold my bike in place while I bike inside but I didn't want to go buy it until I knew the name of it. I think it might be rollers but I'm not sure. So what is the name of this contraption.
Thanks,
Bailey
