Well, I was planning to ride two days on, one day off, but that hasn’t fully manifested yet. Yesterday I went to sleep late the night before so didn’t get up at 6 for the ride. This morning was rainy, and no, I’m not going to go for a training ride...

Funny how time flies. After two days, I thought I’d take a break to let my seat recover from my saddle. Due to circumstances, the one day break turned into two. At least my seat felt better this morning. I rode the same route, but went up a gear on the outbound...

A nice quote I found: “Vitamin C is required to form collagen in the body, and it does this ā despite being described everywhere as an antioxidant ā by oxidation. Vitamin Cās role in collagen formation is to transfer a hydroxyl group to the amino acids lysine...

I’m not going to “blame” anyone for turning me onto zero carb. I’ll admit though, it was a surprise to me when I first heard about it. It’s not exactly what we’re taught, is it? I bought Tim Ferris’ book Tribe of Mentors for...
