Now I adopt a 100 Mile mountain bike race fueling strategy;<BR/>a bite of PB & J here, a handful of nuts and a few bites of an apple there, always making sure to stay well hydrated and caffeinated. <BR/><BR/>I never get lethargic from eating too much at one time and I never feel like I'm starving to death. This allows me to be more productive and seems to promote weight loss (or at least no gain).<BR/><BR/>It ain't so bad really.Big Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303656141935863563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-55104612115786236372008-10-27T01:11:00.000-05:002008-10-27T01:11:00.000-05:00The Flandriens trophy has been handed out to Van A...The Flandriens trophy has been handed out to Van Avermaet.

Many was teh Saturday that "lunch" was a couple slices of cold pizza snarfed around 4:30 or so in the pm! <BR/> Now I opened my own little shop, and often didn't eat until after I got home, or closed around 9 pm. Sometimes living your dream means working 80 hour weeks during the season!

Shop I worked at in the 1980s actually allowed most of us to escape for a 30 minute lunch – even on a busy Saturday.<BR/><BR/>The lunches are part of my bike shop memories.<BR/><BR/>Strombolli at Guy’s Pizza, sausage and peppers sandwiches at Walker’s Subs – complete with a little marinara sauce. Unwrap the foil from the sub to release the mini steam cloud of aroma, before devouring with a fellow bike shop comrade. Killer stuff.<BR/><BR/>In the summer, someone was elected for the Foodtown run - to pick up the daily snack supplies to sit a cooler all day to be shared. Juice, Pop tarts, watermelon, cookies and other snacks. No refrigerator or air conditioning to ward off the New Jersey heat.<BR/><BR/>I remember coming in one morning to work, with no breakfast in my gut – and spotting some left over marshmallow pinwheel cookies. Ah, the breakfast of champions.<BR/><BR/>Dan OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-78390531571765034552008-10-23T18:08:00.000-05:002008-10-23T18:08:00.000-05:00Man, that brings back memories.
