Today my daughter and I made some home made chocolates for Easter ... well, we melted chocolate and put it in moulds, and the lass got to lick the bowl ... while I got to do the dishes. We also made Rocky Road. I predict some sick tummies over the next few days
No, I only have experience with Nuun and Hammer Perpetuem.

Yesterday I went on a pretty fun ride with a friend. Did just short of 30 miles, but most of it ended up being on gravel. First time doing that, and aside from the parts that were straight sand, it was a lot of fun.
Today is one class at 11, and then I'm heading home for the weekend. Can't wait to get so much free food and free laundry.

Last night I went to bed with a heating pad on my shoulders and today I got really excited about buying some fancy carpal tunnel braces. I may start taking glucosamine because my knees are getting creaky and sore. I'm getting old and falling apart, sigh.
Drinking pineapple juice helps my sore knees. Try it. The worst that can happen is you drink some tasty juice.

Today I had a good ride with a friend exploring the Verdugo Mountains area. 60 miles with about 2,000 feet elevation. The bad part was the heat, going through 6 bottles of water, and sweat constantly getting in my right eye. so much sweat. Nuun tablets are amazing, I just wish they tasted better.


I spent the last couple of days drinking in Santa Monica, got back yesterday afternoon and made the Jeff Magnum show last night. Today, I play bikes!

i dont use drink mix unless its exceptionally hot (like 85+ F) or im going really long like 4+ hours
i also dont watch what I eat, which means there is a ****load of salt in my diet.
also im over cycling specific space food its not worth the cost and bread/fruit/nuts/candy bars and crap work just fine. closest thing to space food ill eat anymore is a cliff bar on the biek

Today I had to cut my ride short because of heavy fog + glasses. I couldn't see ****!
nuun also contains sorbitol.....which is a laxative.
i found that out the hard way during a 112mi ride in 95* heat a few years ago.

Seriously, try Skratch Labs. Amazing. CarboRocket is great too, but it's made locally and I am not sure if it's available everywhere.
Today, I got a new phone. Droid RAZR. Huge step up from my HTC Incredible 2. Also, I picked up a bunch of Russian River and Alesmith stuff for a few bucks and some bike repair. So far, it's been a great day.

I had high hopes for Nuun tablets, but if the water in my bottle isn't super-cold, they make me retch.

Today - and tomorrow - no riding for me. Legs need a damn rest from all the commuting and joyriding.
Today I'm really glad i have brakes on my bike because I skipped my chain 2/3 way down a hill with a red light at the bottom.
