Austin Weekend in Review

This past weekend was totally buzzing here in Austin with the Livestrong Challenge taking place. Thousands of cyclists took part in what I feel is one of the best rides of the year and I once again had a great time.  Austin also hosted the Texas Custom Bicycle Show this weekend with some amazing bike builders showing off their talent and incredible bikes.

Jessica Alexander captured the beauty at the custom bike show and we’d like to share some of these bicycle eye candy shots with you.  We’ll be featuring Jessica in an Austin Bike Culture photo post in the very near future….she’s a talented photographer with a huge love for the bike.  Keep an eye out for her featured post later this month.

Livestrong Challenge

I was very happy to be a part of team Kollective Fusion for this year’s Livestrong Challenge.  The team raised $26,000 and created a lot of attention during yesterday’s ride.  Here’s just a couple of photos capturing the day.

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.
