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.

What's the TE Girls' Hill Training Program? Thanks !

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.

This year we haven't ridden the mountain as much.

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...
