Addiction 2021.3

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

It's hard to go from carefree to genuine low carb, so they listened to the food industry tell them whole wheat and brown rice and other stuff were good enough. They are not. They are carbs that turn into sugar just a smidgen slower than white bread and rice, but not slow enough to make a difference.

Drinking alcohol while riding is no bueno. Outside of that, I rarely drink liquid carbs unless I’m riding. Most I’ll do is an occasional bottle of juice.

BillyD gets it. Sadly, most of my patients (and most Americans) do not.

Yeah I should have clarified that. I don't drink alcohol so pretty much the ONLY time I drink anything with carbs in it is when I am on a long ride. Even a shorter ride (say under 3 hours) I drink water. Only on longer rides do I advise drinking some carbs. As always, YMMV.

So, like regular butter, but even worse for you? Sounds great!

I am not a butter expert, but isn’t there some type of Irish butter that’s supposed to be tops?

This is the other side of her game - catcher...

As I commented recently in this thread, I haven't been able to throw as hard as her since she was 13. Partly because I was never a throwing-sport athlete and my mechanics are mediocre, partly because I hurt myself trying, and partly because she built a cannon for herself with dedicated hard work and high-quality instruction.
