wanna share a better way to performance enhancing

[weisan]

Last week I rode on my regular route and from the get go, I was going a lot faster than I usually do, and was practically flying up the hills. It took me almost 20 minutes into the ride before I realized what was going on.

I forgot my water bottles.



things were going so well that I decided to continue and rode all the way to my designated rest stop at a convenient store 20 miles away. Fortunately. the weather was nice and cool, a mere 60 degrees.

Please share your performance enhancing experience (other than the usual suspects).

Stretching regularly. And six shots of espresso.

If I feel really good on the bike, I almost always figure out I have a tailwind

I experienced both of these today at my ride. I stretched in the morning and that did wonders to the ride later. Coming back was a blast with the tailwind behind our backs.

Louis pal, I most definitely don't know what you are talking about.

I want to say that having nice looking rabbits to chase helps,
because over the weekend I chased down 5 females racing in there own category who set off in front of me in a time trial.

But then again it might have just been my fitness that let me go so fast.
Ended up first in my category over my riding buddy, on a flat course, who out weighs me but he didn't have good looking rabbits to chase.

One HUGE thing for me is rest..good night's sleep, great ride...Poor or short..poor ride. BTW-I wouldn't recommend not taking hydration...what was it, 'drink before you are thirsty, eat before you are hungry'..on a ride?

BTW-a liter of water weighs 2 pounds..a water bottle is about 2 liters...8 pounds total..3500 grams on a 82,000 or so gram 'package..4%...

4% faster?..up a hill .6mph faster...'flying'........

kj pal, I must be hanging with the wrong crowd. I could never find a group ride that has more than 1 or 2 female riders in our midst. And even if they show up, they often hang so far in the back that I almost have to pedal backwards to keep up.

^ Depends on what kind of workout you're looking for...

buddy did the testosterone shots, once a week. Then after 3-4 months had heart problems. use caution, use under doctor's supervision.

Bring water, it's ok to be slow, it's not a race, your not being paid, nobody cares about your speed, your car won't leave by itself. If you need to take a SAG do it.

Bro, yuck.

[alexstar]

Lots of sleep, up at dawn, a croissant and two coffees (espresso is best). Works great.

Please use the non-deragatory term "trim" to describe females in lieu of "rabbits".
