There was a total of 5950 feet of climbing, and the same descending of course, but this hill country takes some getting used to. I put a 10-50 cassette on the rear, with a 42 chainring on the front....

What I have taken to doing recently is to ride as far as is comfortable with no food intake, usually about 25-30 miles. When I feel myself slowing down, in goes a Twinkie, and time to spin my way up...

Train smart and consistently...

Everyone starts wherever they start. I'm 64, and after 35 "pack-years," an ignominious dishonor I'm happy to live down, I'm training for a century next week, having done one in 1973.

I have one leg slightly longer than the other, which I balance by mounting one shoe cleat a notch forward of the other.

In days of yore, the gentry would hire serfs to wear their new boots for...

I find it hard to believe that these old leather bike seats are considered comfortable. When I started riding, that's all there was. Brooks leather on chromed steel rails. When I got my racing beer...

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Fuel is exactly what it is, and it feels like the nitrous when added to a race car, which in my case is a wheezing old jalopy...

I am glad to have gotten on...

I like your doc's take on blood pressure. It can vary so much, and today's guidelines seem more restrictive than sensible.

You might want to try that horrid stuporfood, the Twinkie. If you EVER...

I'm going to respectfully disagree with your statement. The salt content of our sweat can, according to some training articles, be up to 2000 mg per liter. That's nearly a teaspoon of salt. I'm...

Great to see this. Back in the day I found I could go indefinitely at about 70-75% throttle (heart rate) without food when in ketosis. A good way to prevent overtraining as well.

That said, on a...

This dovetails well with another hobby of mine, making BBQ ribs and brisket. I've always had a very high salt intake, and perhaps not-so coincidentally, consider myself remarkably heat tolerant...

I'm glad to see this thread. I restarted riding in my early 40s, and found I was insanely tolerant to high heat riding, to the point where if it was 100˚ with super high humidity (eastern Kansas),I...
