Another TdF Post

Starting tomorrow, the next three weeks will be filled with countless blog posts and commentary based around the 97th Tour de France.  This is the first TdF since I became a blogger and I plan to jump right on in there and throw out a few posts of my own.

There are a lot of great cycling events that happen throughout the year, but there is just no comparison to the Tour de France.  It’s a cycling event so big that its able to capture the attention of people who are not generally cycling fanatics. It’s awesome.  As I watch this year, I’m going to blog about those stages and happenings that really catch my attention….so I won’t be TdF posting every day.

I will have a cool post coming out for Stage 9 .  My buddy Chris Russell has provided me with some video of the climb out of Morzine, along with his perspective on what it’s like to actually do that nasty climb.  His description of the Stage is incredible and I really think you’re going to like that one.  Watch for it on Tuesday, July 13th.

If you want to catch up on the tour and get what’s sure to be a neat perspective, I suggest you check out Cycling Tips Blog. He did  an amazing job coving this year’s Giro d’Italia and he actually made the trip from Australia to France so that he could be there first hand for the TdF.  His photos are generally fantastic, so be prepared for some beautiful shots.

Here we go…three weeks of cycling amazement is about to begin.  Will you be watching?

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.
