I got serous about riding after the Doc said I should be exploding from my blood pressure. 2 years of riding has put me back in the good graces of my BP and blood work
My biggest turn around came when I dropped soda's, Mtn Dew was my drug (monster fits this) I drank at least 2 sixers a day of the stuff. At 48 that stuff will kill you in large ammounts LOL
If I know I'm going to be in a hurry the next morning I will make my steelcut oatmeal the night before and put it in the fridge. I'll fry an egg and nuke the oatmeal for a good fast Breakfast. I have yet to bonk on the days I eat first.
Geography, weekly diet, weather, mood, and many other factors change how we deal with the morning commute, just schedualling me in the morning crashes my system lol but all these factors affect how we function. If you think somethings amiss, start a journal of your day and watch for patterns. You'd be amazed at what we miss because we don't think about it.
