Sweet validation, baby! YESSSSS! But I'm left with the lingering question of how much is overboard. Hmm....guess I'll just have to experiment frequently. Darn.
Give Bubba a hug for me, eh SK?

Naw I don't mind, SK. You can claim the kiss, I'll keep the hug. Call it sharing the joy of a good caffeine overload. Originally Posted by SadieKate

Drink lots of tea. You'll be stopping to pee at the side of the road much more often, but hey -- no sore muscles, right? Originally Posted by Trekhawk

But what about chocolate? I don't see that on the list! How much chocolate would it take? Of course, I'd have to eat it before I ride or I'd end up with some really messy jersey pockets if I tried to take it along. Originally Posted by BikeMomma

I imagine you'd have to eat A LOT of chocolate to get that much caffeine, but I could handle that!
If you can read this, take a pull.

Last weekend DH and I rode our usual schedule...a little slower due to the heat, but well within ourselves. However, we were both really sore Monday and into Tuesday. Much more so than the previous two weekends, even the weekend when we got pushed into going way too fast.
After reading this thread one difference jumped out--last weekend we tried to get out a 6AM to beat the heat. As such, we barely had 1/2 a cup of tea (usually we drink a pot between us). Hmm.....just as the article said....
