Cycling in the Caribbean: Grenada, West Indies

My friend Victor from Bicycle Lab and the Cycling 360 Podcast told me that he’d really like to see some video of what it’s like biking around Grenada.  He’s a wise man (he is a guru after all) so I’m taking his advice and today’s post is the start of our new Grenada By Bike feature at Loving the Bike.

When I’m on my road bike it’s all about the training so I decided to take Tina Turner (my commuter) out for a spin so I could grab some shots of me riding around.  The roads are the same ones I road bike on and maybe one of these days I’ll even take the camera out on a training ride as well.

Here’s a first look at Grenada By Bike…be sure to keep tuning in for more in this feature, and also let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see me film while out for a ride.

    Looks like a great place to be. With all that sand you should start thinking FAT BIKE!

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.
