Interesting findings...Since I hop on the bike as soon as I get home, I have been eating a Payday bar that I pick up at our hospital gift shop as I am walking to my car at the end of the day. The bike rides with Payday onboard have been some of my best! I feel strong, have more stamina and able to pick up my speed without hardly trying.
My son who does body building suggested that I drink a protein shake and eat some grapefruit after the ride. He claims that the protein is needed for the muscles to build and recover after a workout, plus the grapefruit enhances the delivery of the protein to the cells. Don't know if it is actually doing all the stuff he claims, but it is refreshing and satisfying. :cool:
