New to road cycling


(Christopher John Howson) #1

Having traded in the mountain for a roadie I’m happy to say…
I LOVE IT!

I’m still getting used to the pedals and gears etc and am by no means a pro.

Second time out on it this morning and clocked up almost 90ks in 3.5hs.
What a difference a road bike makes.

One of the things I love about keto is that while everyone else was chugging down their gels i soldiered on without.
No problem.

We set off at 0645 (local time!) and I had not eaten a full meal since 1730 the PREVIOUS day, so was somewhat fasted. Certainly by the time the ride had finished.

All I had eaten was a small handful of almonds prior to, with some coconut oil and mct oil, (just in case) and made it through the ride fine.

Another interesting thing, and something I see regularly after training is that I was not hungry at all.
however, I did stop off at one of the locals caffs down warners bay for a coffee, eggs, bacon and haloumi!!

Feeling awesome!
Keto do Lyf!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Perfect mate !! I woke up at about the same time, fasted 4 and half hour ride, average 27kph, 115Kms

Tell that to carb burners who could never do that, got home, had bacon, egg and sausage with cream and scratchings after, yummy !

Hey Christopher just getting over a knee injury once I am up to speed could catch up for a bike ride ?

Would be great mate

Would be nice to get out of the Newcastle area on the bike,
We also do a regular cycle up here I’ve found out.

But like my post says, I am by no means any good and am still learning to ride!
So go easy on me!!
