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

I hate ketchup. Yes that would ruin my ride too. However, it did give me the mental picture of Chris Farley in "Tommy Boy" slurping ketchup from the packet.

Calories, salt. I don't see an issue. Get a mayo packet and you have protein too.

Wait, wait. He might be right. Smash said ketchup pack against your head, then you're guaranteed to see a paramedic in an ambulance. Adrenaline shot to the guad+IV drip for a few minutes equates to instant legs again.


Now to try picante sauce!

The best use I ever had for ketchup packets is to stomp on them from the upper deck at Memorial Stadium (Baltimore reference, since ticktockpedal is in Baltimore) when I was a kid.

I think you're being a little facetious, but in case anyone actually believes you. You'd have to eat about 13 packets an hour, which I doubt most people would really be able to stomach. Part of on the bike nutrition is sustainable nutrition, packets of ketchup are not this. I really hope no one tries this...

The OP must write copy for the ads in the back of the free Sunday newspaper supplements.

Here's the original poor man's gel pack:



In addition the packaging is entirely bio-degradeable.

Me thinks Mother Nature's candy like Banana's is much better than any chemical treated Gel pack. OP, get your head check, condiments as a Gel Pack???

how man (few) calories are actually in a packet of ketchup. If they were giant packs, it might actually work. As mentioned in another reply, you'd have to consume them nonstop...

given the uselessness of the subsequent 30000 posts, I can't imagine it was much beyond mcdonalds ketchup....
