Old news indeed. This "window" of rapid replenishment was talked about
in (I think) Bicycling magazine over twenty years ago. Almost all
athletes, even fatty masters, tend to grab at straws for performance.
I've never used Cytomax but I have bought a lot of Clif products. Does
it help? I still seem to be getting older; thank goodness, I dread the
alternative. What you need is to be able to buy training time at the
store. If I could ride as much as I did when young I could ride as
well. (Says something about how bad I was.)

No problem there! I've been on that regimen for decades. However,
according to the article: “We really are talking about a group of
extremely elite sports people who train twice a day.” I don't train
twice a day, but I do "gravy train" twice a day or more. Does that
count? And speaking of gravy trains, the recovery drink and powerbar
industry frown on people trying to derail their gravy train, so be
careful when you start your car.. ;-)

I concur! I have been drinking red wine since I was about ten years
old, living with my grandparents who were from northern Italy
(Illinois Public Schools let me know I was from a "broken family".) To
this day; often cheap but always red and always dry. Hold the ice
cubes please. When the heat's up I tend toward margaritas with Partida
plata, but I'll still stuff a 6 oz. glass of merlot two or three times
a week for the medicinal qualities.

Drinks like Ricard and Jerez are highly recommended.....by me.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2008/jun08/jun10news2:
"
Team Slipstream Chipotle - H30 has added backing going into the Tour de
France, July 5 to 27, as its sponsor has introduced a new burrito in
honour of the USA team.
"

The fatty masters probably want to know when dunkin doughnuts will be
sponsoring a team.
