I cant lie. Oreos = Speed.
 

I swear I feel better on the bike if Ive eaten 10 +/- oreos the night before.

Discuss.

Fried oreos.

I suspect this is true. I feel better after eating at least four waffles about an hour before a good ride.

Same, but Tim Tams.

You're trying to drive pcad over the bend, aren't you?

Whatever you do, don't leak this secret to the 33. It would be curtains for us all.

I think you meant 'over the hill', and hes been there a while.

I'm only around the hill. I am however, over the bend.

Oreos are delicious. I mostly do Newman-Os to avoid the HFCS, but same principle. My kryptonite.

most of them are too worried about getting fat...I dont care, I suck at racing at any weight.

those arent bad...but theres no substitute.

Now that sounds like my kind of training regimen, and it looks like I have been on it for quite some time.

SWEET JEEBUS dont toy with me man! are you kidding about the HFCS? I been off it for about 4 weeks now.

I'm pretty sure that's what Oreos are sweetened with. Practically everything mass-market is. Having a bit should be ok though - I seem to work best when I get some Wheaties Fuel, and that has it. I'll be cutting it out in mid-October when race season ends and focus on raw fitness for a few months.

I meant the Newman O's. They have hfcs or dont?

I hear coke has the same effect.

htfu. I put hfcs in my coffee and in my oatmeal.

They do not.

I watch my sugar intake and will not eat HFCS. It isn't that hard once you start reading the labels.

Oh good god. No, sorry, I would have cleared that up if I understood what you were asking.

Amen brother!

i feel the same way about a glass of wine the night before a ride, so maybe i'll eat 10 oreos and wash it down with a glass of Merlot or Pinot Noir the night before my next ride and see how it works out...

^^^hey why not...I had some grolsch with my pasta and oreos. ftw.

A friend turned me on to Oreo's at about 95 miles into a 120 mile ride once. I had bonked so we stopped, bought a pack along with a Bing energy drink and I was a new man. Now I carry Oreo's in my jersey instead of Figs. I just did a 7 day bike tour and instead of eating what they provided,( PB&J's, fruit etc...)most of which I never eat on rides, I stuck with Oreo's and finished strong every day. My buddy always drinks a Coke too, at some point on longish rides, swears by it.

I drank a Pepsi at around mile 100 of a 114 mile ride, and it was like drinking jet fuel.

Oreos don't really do much for me. I can eat an entire package in a day, and the only thing I feel the next day is my feet getting tingly from my circulation going to crap. But they do taste good.....Doublestuff, of course.
