    All this and lovingthebike has only reached the lower inflection point of an exponential growth curve (or something).

    It has been a great year partnering with you, the @egggman and #bikeschoolers. I expect more secretevolplans in 2011.

    Great post but you forgot one. Changing the face of cycling culture by bringing out the best in people through the website.
    May the wind be at your back and the sun upon your face in 2011.

    Nice summary. I feel like such a slacker.

      You’re not even close to a slacker. Your advocacy, cycling, and humour is incredible.

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.
