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

You see my results. I will make you a deal. You match those results by dieting and I will pay you $100. And that is without even seeing your current numbers.
I already have. My total triglycerides were off the charts (well over 900mg/dL). As a result, the lab couldn't get good numbers for HDL/LDL. I had borderline high BP, nearly diabetic and overweight. The MD had me on lopid. After a few years of diet and exercise, my weight is excellent, the numbers are great and I'm off the lopid.

You want to send the $100 to my paypal account?

I don't know why anyone would want to take drugs who didn't absolutely have to. I'm sick of them.

That may be the case for hobbyists and amateurs. For us or is though a higher calling keeps the levels high, very high.

So I'm driving back to Colorado on Saturday (well, starting Saturday) and signed up for my first road race in two years, somewhere in Ohio.

Oh jeez.
