My brain demands food!

BikeNMike says that you should finish a ride/race, with money left in the bank.  

The last time i did 50 miles, i felt like i'd been pummeled relentlessly with a 2x4 until i professed to be a heretic.

In my previous post, I admitted to stocking up on some supplements.  Yes, REAL supplements you dirty minded fools and not that "crunchy herbal shit". :D

So today, i thought i'd give them a try.  

FRS drink (which is some freakin pricey watery berry drink that's supposed to give you energy), oatmeal, scrambled eggs made of "Better than Eggs" and some toast.  I also took a supplement called "Sport's Legs", which is supposed to reduce lactate (am i using the right word here...you know, the shit that makes your legs sore after a good workout) and achiness,  and drops of this electroylite stuff in my water.  No gu's. Yeah, i know, a new world order.  

Today was windy. I'm not sure how windy, but at times, it was a struggle to keep my bike on the road.  Headwinds, cross winds, you name it, the lake had it.  I made a trip up the White Rock Trail and going up, i felt i could ride forever. (TAIL WIND!) Until, i turned around.  Suuccck.  IT was a battle, and that only gave me 30 miles, so i knew i either had to run up it again, or loop the lake 2 more x.  I decided to loop the lake.  that wind tunnel can suckit.

Despite the wind, and my suffering booty, i felt pretty good.  A nice gentlemen offered a pull, so i took the draft for a bit. Thank you!

I decided to head to RBM to check out bike seats...maybe mine is the still not the best for me and is causing some issues after about 50 miles.  

I gotta comment here.  I love RBM..but i kinda felt this attitude about the seat i wanted from the sales girl.  I would point to a seat "hmpft! i wouldn't use THAT one". Bitch, i dont care what seat you use, i want to look at the seats I want.  Then i decided to make her show me ALL the girlie seats. I enjoyed the annoyed look on her face.  One thing that i noticed. She kept trying to push this $$$ seat..and told me it was "unisex".  After i got home, i looked into it. unisex my ass.  That company makes a specific women's seat and i KNEW that the seat she showed me was just for men.  

Kids, WE are different. The fact that this was a male dominated sport, and still is to plenty extent, means that most stores are going to stock men specific stuff.  I really HATE it when salesreps try to sell me on something that I know damn well isn't what they say.  

Regardless, I wont buy it from them (and i normally, like RBM) but that chick (i think) needs to check her personal attitude at the door. I find the ppl at the richardson RBM, fairly cool. I also think there are some ppl at Plano Cycling extremely helpful. At least, they ACT like they dig cycling, and not an elitist ideal. I'm sorry, but YOU WORK IN A BIKE SHOP.  

Anyhoo, after about two hours, the hunger kicked in.  I tried to eat fairly well, and light, but damn. I am hungry.  I burned up over 2k cals, so my body is demanding payment.  

I just ate two serving of oatmeal.  And energy..WOW, i have more than enough. I even mopped the floors tonight. How am i going to get to sleep?  those supplements are damn good.  I don't feel achy at all.  Made a believer out of me.

Ok hunger abated, i'm crawling into bed to watch the rest of "going the distance", which i am finding pretty damn funny.  

Clear, calm skies bike snobs!
