Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We would take periodic "nature" breaks where we would pull to shore to answer the call of nature while Anthony would stay in the canoe. He solved his problem by lifting a leg over the side and relieving himself. In one incident I spotted a canoe close behind Anthony's canoe and about to pass. I could see Anthony lifting his leg as the canoe passed. All I could see was someone that appeared to be screaming, as it was too far away and the river too noisy to really hear anything. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I rode a century (106miles) last week without the need to pump ship. During the ride I drank 6 bottles of water, ate 3 granola bars and a couple of Gu thingies. It was hot, but not as humid as the previous week. The ride took about 8 hours (including 20 mins to fix a flat), and I lost about 6lbs which was mostly sweat. I didn't feel the need to pee, and I didn't feel dehydrated. So if you pump before you start, why would you need to let it fly on the fly? (Just remind me not to follow you… )

That's freaking great! That's about as good as when our scout troop's loudmouth told me to "go play with myself" when I was trying to give him advice about the latrine...namely that we could not find dry enough ground for the frame, so he had to be gentle getting onto it. He fell in....the screams and whining was priceless.....we were all half tempted to let him sleep in it for the night, but that wouldn't have been very scout-like...so we had to pull him out. That was the last time he ever mouthed off when someone tried to stop him on his way to the latrine.

Um, here's a thought: If you're not actually a pro-rider and you're not actually in a race, why not do the reasonably intelligent and civilized thing and pull over, face away from the road, and do your thing? Why do roadies have to always blow smoke up their own asses by pretending to be Ivan Basso all the time? Restrooms. Use 'em. It's what God made them for.

I'd hate to crash while having my schwantz hanging out in the breeze. The thought of having the road grate that area into a road rashy pulp is enough to get me off the bike to relieve myself. I suppose if it came down to it, I like Jakey's suggestion of doing it and then rinsing w/ some water.

Mission accomplished. Man - that was great! Felt like a 4 yo again - gotta go? Just whip it out and whiz. Did it twice on todays's ride. I can't wait for my next ride. I'm gonna drink a gallon of water before and piss everywhere!

Whoohooo!

Wait for a stretch of road where you can coast for 10-20 seconds. You might want a private stretch of road, for obvious reasons. Stand up on the pedals, hold onto the bars with one hand, turn your body as far to one side as safely possible(wind direction should tell you which side to turn to), pull down the shorts with the other, whip out the old boy and let fly, all the while turned to the side so as not to get urine where you don't want it. Shake it off and put it back. Voila, never had to clip out...

After your ride, what are you going to tell the waitress when you stop in for a quick bite to eat and she asks you what is all that yellow stain all over your socks and jersey.

Being an Eagle Scout I figured I would share my story:

One night at camp some of the older scouts convinced this one annoying, loud mouth (always one in the troop) to play "truth or dare", and they bet him to drop a huge rock down into the pit toilet. It was dark out so he couldn't see how far it down it was...... Well... he dropped the huge rock and proceeded to keep looking into the hole and SPLASH! Right into his face and all over his clothes.....

The funny thing was that the showers were all closed for the night, and he had no way of cleaning off..... The poor kid had to go down to the lake and wash off with a bar of soap. Needless to say he was the most behaved kid the rest of the week.

Well you probably have been drinking so... take your water bottle, stick it up your shorts or bibs and go for it. A pro rider did this in last years national crit in downers grove. Please carefully chuck your bottle when done.

Every trip to the latrine during summer camp was like a secret mission. You had to sneak into the latrine without being seen or heard. If you made the mistake of being seen the word would be passed around and the next thing you know, the latrine (out house type) was tied shut and the wooden structure, pelted with rocks. It was bad enough having to "concentrate" with all of the noise but the worst part was the thought of having to spend time with that smell longer than you expected.

I've seen girls scooch way back off the back of the saddle and let it fly.
So yeah, they're peeing on their rear wheel. Big deal. If you want to win a race, you sometimes have to do strange things.

I read the personals, so I know some people associate peeing with sex; but to paraphrase Freud, sometimes a piss is just a piss.

Last weekend at Provincials I was treated to a urinating cyclist. Except he chose to relieve himself THROUGH his shorts. Poor sod could have used some of the technique tips here. Needless to say he did not last the race.
