"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - I Had to Ask

Sex the night before a race. Good, bad or indifferent?

I've heard varying opinions, and I want to know what you guys think.

try to limit yourself to 45 minutes.

-bullseye

As long as you don't stay up all night and get silly with the Alabama Crag Dangle you'll be fine.

Do you really think a couple of minutes will hurt? ;)

Maybe get some extra testosterone going?

I've never noticed a difference.

If you are not a professional cyclist getting paid large sums of money to race, why would there ever be a choice between sex and racing. I'd much rather finish strong in bed and limp around the race with a lopsided grin on my face.

Silly question. IMO

I read in playboy a while back that sex before an event was great for female athletes, because it increases testosterone levels which improves performance. They didn't say anything about male athletes. I'd say go wild, though. As long as you're not too sore the next day you'll have even more reason to smile than you would anyways. That can't be bad

Yes. Always.

Well, you might still have trouble sitting on the saddle the next day but you should be able to pull it off. :p

ROFL.........:D:D:D

Sex night before a race, good;
Staying out all night looking for sex, bad.

Women weaken legs!

What would Cipo do?

Sex the night before a race. Good, bad or indifferent?

Yes, but keep it in zone 2. A few zone 3 intervals may be okay.

Ruthless :lol:

Best post this year for me!

C'mon, you HAD to know something like that was coming!! :D

It's not sex before a race that'll hurt you. It's all the time you waste looking for sex that'll kill ya.

Beat me to it!

Holy God. I cannot unsee that.

You didn't have to ask.

Oh dear.

You didn't have to ask.

Yes I did. I clearly stated that I had to in the title.

nom nom nom?

Alright seriously. Had sex about 6 hours prior to a Tuesday training crit a couple of years ago. I got dropped and suffered for the whole hour. Terrible race.

Sex the day or night before has not affected me. I usually get dropped regardless.

To answer this question, I would have to remember back to the days when I had some say in the matter...

At least you can admit it.
I'm going to try and have as much with as many as possible while I'm in the twilight of my careless highschool years. I actually got some afternoon delight today and rode pretty well considering.

I really didn't want this thread to get all goofy, but this is BF, so what can I expect?

I read a study saying that track athletes performed better getting their rocks rolled about an hour before a race. this is probably way different, since cycling is about endurance.

That said, my friday night went great, my saturday morning left me off the back somewhere between 6-8 miles in.
