Hair is holding me back

Thanks for all the encouragement, everyone! I'm looking forward to it.

One more question* -- do you eat before you leave or when you get there or both?

My office has a fridge with freezer as well as a full-service cafeteria, so eating at work is no problem. I just wonder if I should have a small something before I leave (I'm estimating it will take me 45 minutes b/c of the hills).

Both. But I have the metabolism of a wood stove and get VERY hungry VERY fast, so the only way I can cope with morning exercise is a medium size breakfast (orange juice, coffee, 2 slices of bread) before, and a morning snack after (cup of tea, apple and a biscuit). And lunch 2 hours after that again

(Oh, and having a snack will give your hair time to dry :-)

Well, for me personally, it sort of depends on the time I spend on the bike. For just an hour, no then I don't to anything extra besides a normal bite to eat. For 2 hrs, yes I would eat well first, like a bowl of cereal or a stack of sandwitches. On longer rides (3+hrs) I would also add some food with me. And I normally prefer to eat my warm meal after the excersise ... it tastes much better then

My 'stove' (very well put lph we use a simular word in dutch) also burns high and fast. So I need to eat regularely to keep away the hunger. I watch what I eat but eat the quantity I feel that I need.
