Road Cycling - PRBM (Post Riding Bowel Movements)

I just got a road bike at the beggining of last summer, and I'm loving it! I was just curious if anyone else had the same problem as I do sometimes, I'm not shure if it is jsut from all the physical exertion or just stuff getting shook up. But damn!, sometimes after I ride I spend the rest of the day running to the bathroom for a number 2. I used to run alot, and I would get the same effect sometimes after a long run (like 10 miles) but not this bad!

g'day,

i'm not sure why you refer to this as a 'problem'....all that food that goes in to 'fuel the machine' has gotta go somewhere!.....actually, my most satisfying s*** of the day!,

cheers,

hitchy

i usually "drop my ballast" before i go out for a ride...

man, i poo'd the hugest poo of all today after work. it was soooo satisfying.

Gawd...I wasn't going to post this, but I was dying to ask, and since you started it...


I have the OPPOSITE prob. I produce diamonds the day of the ride. I theorize my colon dehydrates, despite putting in water from the other end. I'd love to evacuate before my rides, but 730 a.m. is just too early.

See, thats what I was thinking. That It wouldn't be so sloppy after sweating out all that fluid. Oh well I guess I will jsut have to deal with it.

i'm conditioned to void @ 5:15am each day. no deviation. when one of our group is late for a ride, we know the reason. and it is a consistent consitency, if you know what i mean.

1 x Daily, 7:45 AM. I set my alarm for eight and usually make it back to bed for a "snooze".

Sick really, but I enjoy the regularity.

It weighs 14 oz.































just kidding



















Its a full pound! :p

i crap once a day. no more!

also, i have noticed that since i have been eating alot of oatmeal and pb and j sandwiches that i have to wipe less. my butt is raw no more! :)

normal, healthy human beings should have 2-3, small to medium-sized bowel movements per day. most people are just too busy to hit the head that often, or we're just not eating properly.

this (http://seasilver.threadnet.com/Preventorium/bowel.htm)seems like a pretty good resource for healthy BMs...

then again.... (http://health.allrefer.com/health/constipation-info.html) i guess it's all subjective.

1 a day. nicely formed, firm, but not too firm. yesterday's was an aberration.

Three old men were talking in an old folks home.
The first man said: "Man, what I wouldn't give to be young and take a really good, healthy pee. I haven't had a good healthy pee in years."
The second man said: "I'd give anything to be able to take a nice big poop. That's something I haven't done in a really long time."
The third man said: "I don't know what you two are whining about. Every morning at 6:30 I take a really, really good pee, and at 7:30 I take a really big poop, so if you think you've got it bad, quit whining.
The other two asked the third man why he was unhappy.
"Because they don't get me out of bed until 8:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh NO NO NO. Have you ever been riding a excellent ride. Usually long. You feel good. You attack here and there. THEN, you suddenly have to take a crap. Your lucky if you just have to fart. But i hate it when you are riding well and you have to squeege. Sux.
