Is that like the instructions on high5 gels to take 3 per hour, but not to exceed 40 in one day? 40?!?!

I think the limit is more like 20 but yeah, it's a pretty ridiculous amount of gels :eek: Some people ride and only consume them as fuel I guess.

I had 8 gels on my 200 mile ride. I much prefer real food :p

The dumb thing is that 3 gels an hour isn't enough to keep you fuelled up anyhow. It would be better if the instructions also suggested that you consume other calories at the same time, depending on your activity level.

Best thing is neither do car drivers, there is no 'road tax'! It's 'car' tax! Except maybe he means the congestion charge? :rolleyes:

Reported 1 comment and it looks like it's gone, went to users page and reported the user using the comment on another video as 'evidence' of 'hate & violence talk'. Hopefully get the jokers account banned ;)


Going on a ride tonight with a friend again as I'm not going to get much time to ride over the weekend (getting prepared for holiday next weds). Going for a shorter one than normal as he's not got much time, should be ideal as I'm not 100% yet from being ill! :)

exactly.. I'm guessing he is talking about road tax.. which is not a thing, there's emission tax which for e.g. does not apply to electric cars either so do those drivers deserve to die too? and afaik, aren't roads covered by the general taxes? if so, every working person pays for them.

he has subscribed to me.. guess it's due to the car shows that I have uploaded a while ago :o I love cars and have nothing against drivers as such but there are some super colourful flowers out of the bunch.. who deserve to be on youtube.

Same.

Problem is that I bulked purchased a load of SIS gels and then very shortly after tried the choc waffer Powerbar.

Never looked back. Apart when I open by cuboard in my kitchen and see boxes upon boxes of gels. :rolleyes:

Yup. I have two boxes filled with gels that will take me forever to get through. I go through electrolyte tabs crazily quickly though :eek:
 
So my surplus is now:

Ultegra 6600 Shifters, Front and Real Derailleur. [used]
SRAM Rival Brakes [used]
FSA Gossamer Crank [used]
Shimano BBR60 [new]
Stages Power Meter (Ultegra 6800, 172.5mm) [barely used]


Ebay and gumtree here I come!
 
Are the BCAA's suppose to make me feel sleepy? I feel like I could drop off any second. Could be a placebo effect I suppose, but it feels like I've eaten a huge pizza. Fortunately I'm home now, so going to take a nap :P

Nope not at all, they're just a protein. (Used pre/intra exercise or during periods of fasted other activity mostly to avoid muscle catabolism)

I think it was just placebo, I feel fine now. I did read that they can cause an insulin spike though, much like a big carb meal does. I'll see how I get on over a few days.

Off on a mountain bike ride tonight on the CX. Going with a mate from work, can't wait as I don't usually have any company.

HR data has gone a bit crazy. All year I've not been able to hit my anywhere close to max HR, but today I've seen 205+bpm. Maybe my HRM is playing up.
