Blather on Bicycling

Overall, it wasn’t too bad of a week of riding for me. I found out right away how out of shape I was. The first day I felt strong but then the next 2 days were rather grievous, thus confirming fitness is more about recovery than single efforts.

I’m mainly riding a new training bike this winter–a Blue NX7 with Campy. You could call it a rain bike, but it doesn’t rain here much so that might be a misnomer. Foul weather bike would be more appropriate. It is a road set up, but I’ll ride it on gravel quite a bit; but, gravel is quite a bit smoother than the chipseal around here lately.

Tyler will get the conciliatory nod when I see him this week. He ruined me on Antles today.

I’m going to be playing around with some new drink mixes this fall. This is based on a formula called JeukenDrink (pronounced YOU-can-drink and don’t bother googling it because I just coined it). It will involve some Dolomite, fructose powder, and other sugars.
