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

Debunking a Long-Used Rule
According to the researchers, it is easy to gain weight unwittingly from a very small imbalance in the number of calories consumed over calories used. Just 10 extra calories a day is all it takes to raise the body weight of the average person by 20 pounds in 30 years, the authors wrote.
10 surplus calories per day * 365 days per year * 30 years = 109500 surplus calories. Assuming the "debunked rule" that would be 109500 surplus calories / 3500 calories per pound = 31 pounds.

Hmm. They only gained 2/3 of the weight they were "supposed" to by the rule. So they found you put on weight slower and take it off slower than the previously thought. So eat up fatties. You can eat 33% more and not gain any more weight than you would have previously thought.

Dammit! That's exactly what I was thinking. And so does all this riding I'm doing.

Come to think of it reading makes me hungry. And so does eating. I'm gaining weight as I type. Eff it!

Addtional NYT training advice:
-Eat chocolate regularly
-Drink beet juice
-Get a coach who tells you faster cyclists are slower than your best
-More beer (ideally NA)
-HFCS for recovery

It is true. You just don't ride enough.

And stop measuring yourself with your shoes on. You're not fooling anyone.

That's, what, seven non-diet meals in four months? You should barely feel that.

Don't need a basement. I can do that in a multi-thousand square foot store using someone else's equipment.

BTW...when I was racing we didn't use tt bikes. You just rode your bike against the clock, and I'll bet I was still faster than you.
