I'm about to embark on a half -year long training programme (with a coach to help and advise). obviously, to avoid overtraining/coming to a peak to early, it will be fairly easy to start, followed by gradual increasing intensity from december onwards. Why start early? My parents have been annoying the heck out of me since they divorced and now fight to have us on holidays, but no one seems to understand something. First we're adults, second I'm wierd and prefer the pain of climbing up a mountain rather than eating/sleeping/sunbathing (not necessarily in that order)
This year I've made it clear to them that I will be organising my summer, and it will involve a lot of racing.
That said I want to know if there are any good sites out there that deal with what you should be eating. Not just the breakdown of vitamins and minerals etc, I mean like recommended foodstuffs. Ideally, I want to drop two kilos to 70kg, and maintain that weight by the time im racing. any ideas?

i'd imagine one of chris charmicheal's books would have a good diet plan, if not, search the internet or check out a local book store or library. If u really want to get serious, u can hire a trainer and he'll tell u how to train, and what to eat.
If you're the type of person who can commit to something and stay with it there are alot of fitness programs on disc you can use; Some will not only work a fitness program up for you and keep a record but also work up a nutritional regimen for you and even print out the grocery list to put it on the table. After you get that going, hook up with a local club or shop and ride with other racers; the competition of a friendly ride makes you better.
