Tour_de_France_map_2014_fullFor those of you who don’t know, I’m the co-host of the Cycling 360 Podcast.  Today we launched  a cool Tour de France challenge for our listeners to take part in and I wanted to share it with you guys as well.

It’s the time of year where cyclists and also a lot of non-cyclists get excited for a little 21 stage race called the Tour de France.   We wanted to have some fun this month so we’re challenging our listeners to take part in their very own personal TdF.

Here’s the deal.  Listen to this episode of the Cycling 360 podcast and find out how we want you to set this up for yourself.  You don’t have to ride hundreds of miles, and you don’t have to be a hardcore racer.  This is for everyone to take part in and to do at their own level.

This is the perfect time to push yourself out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.

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.
