Blood donation before a big ride?

[Rumblefish]

And to help your (our) iron count, don't forget to eat raisins and/or green leafy vegetables.

I love spinach, and it's my best friend before donation time.....I skimped on it the one time and my iron was too low and was banned from donating for 3 months like Enzed said they do to you. (I was super disappointed too I seem to get a bizarre pleasure out of donating )

It's great to hear about all of you who donate as well!
