Aren't cyclists suppose to "carbo-load" to ride long distances? I was reading an old Riv Reader awhile back about a guy name Dave or Henry Kingman. He eats massive breakfasts, ramen, 50 cent pies (now probably a dollar), and lots of pasta. He also rides 100s of miles a day. Further, you watch the "pro" riders like Lance and see them eating plates and plates of carbos before and after racing up and down "Cols" for hundreds of miles. Are cyclists suppose to eat carbs to keep on riding? Note, I'm not talking about transportation cyclists or weekend warriors (like myself) who do anywhere from 10 to 50 mile rides. I presume that reducing carbs would be a big help in my losing weight - of course, I just need to get started.
Anyways, how does this guy address cyclists and their supposed "need" for carbs? Good Luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
