Once upon a time, I was going for a bike ride with Dad; my brakes were rubbing and slowing me up a lot. I didn't really realize what was going on. I tried to push through it and ended up over heating and having a very traumatic experience. (I had been drinking a lot of Gatorade and ended up vomiting... a lot. I know, nasty. To this day I am unable to drink Gatorade, even the smell makes me gag.)
Ever since that experience I have been looking for a way to get carbs and electrolytes on my rides. My brilliant coach came home from work one day and threw a few packets of honey at me. (I learned later that 1 tablespoon of honey has about 17 grams of carbohydrates. Who knew?)
"Here, try these on a ride."
It works miracles! Give it a try, let me know what you think.
On another note. Tour De France starts this Saturday! You can watch it here
Katie, I love you, but you need a little work on spelling and grammar. I say this only because I love you. ;)
