Sorry; carb cycling doesn\’t mean eating these round muffins! It\’s a shame, too; they look delicious! I\’m not sure that carb cycling would work for me. It sounds like it means eating low carb except on days when you expect to engage in strenuous activity; but I ride five or six days a week. And it\’s

Break from Routine I’m taking a break from routine today; but it isn’t a coffee break. That’s because I don’t drink coffee! For a change, I decided to skip the salvage store in favor of Whole Foods.

We all need a boost now and then! Sometimes our efforts to improve on the bike don\’t seem to be getting anywhere; and that\’s when we need to find a way to boost our training. If you want to get faster, work to ride several mph faster than your desired cruising pace. This can be
