Since the family is in still in Denmark my plan is to ride every day. Back from work, ate a bowl of honey nut cheerios and brought a bottle of water with only a little sugar in it. Bonked at 35 miles - damn it why did I not bring more supplies
Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them.
Along with pwn, teh is a standard feature of leetspeak. Originating from the common typo, it has become conventionalized in a variety of contexts. It is often used ironically [...]
Furthermore, teh can be used in front of a verb in a novel form of gerund, and it has the ability to turn nearly any word into an intensified noun, which can take the place of a superlative. The best-known example of this is the word suck. Thus, the phrase "this sucks" can be converted into "this is teh suck" ("teh suck" being equivalent to the superlative "the suckiest", or simply just "sucky")
Amidst the sea of deplorable trends contributing to the general downward spiral of intelligible English, I find "teh" to be quite innocuous. "Bonking is the suck" would not be a grammatically correct sentence anyways, but with teh it's at least proper internet slang.

You went for a ride that was more than 35 miles with nothing more than a bowl of cereal in your gut and a bottle with a little sugar? During a week when you are riding every day? I like to keep it minimal too but come on.

I usually just drink all of my water when it happens so I don't feel quite so hungry and roll to the end of the ride at 50% HR. Or stop off at a sevvie and buy some gummy bears.
Sleep is huge. HUGE. I feel a million times better on the bike if I've gotten 9ish hours of sleep the night before and gotten up around 8-9 (and not running a sleep deficit). I think it's a bigger factor in how much I can do and how much I can push myself than diet, honestly. Downtime is invaluable when you're on a heavy-duty training regimen. Eat all the protein you want, if your body doesn't have time to make use of it, it's useless.
That and drinking. I can get away with a couple of beers and a bunch of water if I want to be tip-top on the bike the day after, but any more and I notice it. Racing has definitely made me cut back on drinking. Kind of nice.
Racing/ training has made me cut back on a lot. I'm eating so much, though. And spending a ton of money on organic foods and coconut water. I can definitely tell when I don't eat correctly, hydrate correctly, or sleep enough.
I like to keep it minimal, but sometimes I don't plan on riding as long or as far as I do (either through mid-ride choices or a serious underestimation of how much time/energy a certain distance will take). A few weeks ago, I headed out on a ride and ended up doing about 40 miles with a single, long 22 mile climb in the middle with only a Clif bar and two bottles. By the end I was dying. Good thing I'm too fat to bonk much.
Bakeries. I look for bakeries when I'm bonked out. As a strategy, it works much better on the road than the mountain. Although it is typically a long shot, the payoff is HUGE when it works out.
