Bikes and Bagels

Morning comes aft sleepless night,

Winds are tame hope ease the flight.

 

Kit selected colors coordinated,

Looks can never be underestimated.

 

Bike is primed and cleaned for show

Greased up, aired up ready to go.

 

NAV reset choice groceries in back

Heart is pounding eager to attack.

 

Group assembled our age can’t hide

Nothing’s going to slow this ride.

 

Off the start our cadence fast

Groups in sync, hope it lasts.

 

Pounding out the rhythm of work

Big hills to come still the perk.

 

To Sachse and back our goal today

Stretch our legs or win the day?

 

Left turn on Renner, elbow flick

Sit in and rest, prepare for kick.

 

With end in sight plan firm in mind

Hold Derek’s wheel then sprint the line.

 

It’s a shame that Kraig and Mike pulled all day

Perhaps a bagel will suffice for pay.

 

Enjoy Your Ride

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
