Is anyone else routinely starving after medium to long rides? Like, ready to eat the wall paper hungry? I find I often am. I always have a party size bag of organic blue corn tortilla chips (health food!) in my pantry and it gets raided after rides.

In 2005 my husband Thom set himself the goal of climbing Mt. Diablo once a month. We sucked SK, Jobob, aka_kim and a few others into doing it with us - usually by going out for beer and pizza afterward.Quote:

Oh and someone asked if you are hungry after a ride. After a ride, I'm not really hungry until the next day. Otherwise I am hungry all the time.

It's so funny - one of my dear friends, a former roommate, is a doctor in the east coast (the one I encouraged cherinyc to go to for her asthma). He's an internist and allergist/pulmonary guy and has been advising me regarding my pulmonary emboli, etc. for the past few weeks. And he's always sending me emails about bike riding - looking for tips and training ideas.
His last email to me was along the lines of "Should I be eating something? I can't ride for more than 2 hours because I get too hungry."
DUH!! He's a doctor!! (Not that they're supposed to know everything, but I'd just assume that the whole idea of fueling your body, 30 - 50 grams carbs per hour, etc. would have filtered through to him!!
Yeah, we can provide health care for *you*, but when it comes to ourselves...:o
