I normally put a little protein in my drinks mid-ride [since at some point your body will begin the metabolize it]. however, the question is - at what point might protein be needed [1 hour? 3 hours? 5?] and how much.

Has anyone read articles from Allen Lim on this? not sure he has talked about it explicitly, but they were giving the Garmin guys [supposedly] protein shakes after grand tour stages. again, this goes a bit counter to other arguments I have read.

on an eating status note, someone at work brings bagels every Wednesday. I think the person forgot today. not sure whether this will be good or bad.
