Hey BBTC!
I’m sorry I
missed this posting last week and am late this week, often life gets in the
way.
So, let’s take a
look at is going on this week;
IT’S HOT OUT!! My
suggestion, either get out on the morning rides and night rides or head up to
higher ground.
The ULCER is fast
approaching and “SO You Want to Ride a Century” is up to 75 miles
with hills this Saturday. And Sunday brings another Super Series ride, “Chalk
Creek” at the cooler elevations of the
And don’t forget
to keep hydrated. A person needs to be drinking 10-12 8oz glasses of water each
day plus an additional 8oz for every 25lbs you’re over weight and this is
before doing any kind of exercise. The importance of hydration was proven by
Floyd Landis last week when in stage 16 of the Tour de France, he bonked on the
last climb and lost the yellow jersey. But then in stage 17 he stayed hydrated
and kept his core cooler and blew the field away on one of the toughest stages
in the Alps to regain most of his lost time and set him up to regain the yellow
jersey in stage 19 and win the tour before Paris. Congratulations Floyd!! When
you are out riding, take a drink of water every 5 minutes or less, you’ll
be better for it. Safe journeys and remember to
Pedal Fast and Laugh
Often
