That's a great point. It becomes part of your lifestyle, and you make healthier choices because of it. I would love to pig out on sugary stuff, but I know that the sugar crash will keep me from riding strong. The day before a ride, I have to watch what i eat so that I'll sleep well and won't have a heavy stomach from fried foods. I look at everything through the eyes of a cyclist -- will this help or hinder my riding.

Good luck serious1!
