Chowing down

When I’m not on my bike or sleeping, this is pretty much what I look like all the time. Nice tan eh! I wonder how many years it will be before the line disappears. I am getting a good handle on the eating situation though. I like to have a small breakfast and get going as soon as we can, then ride for an hour or two, and have a decent meal. I rest for a half hour or so after that, (usually we stop in a town and pick up supplies or something) and then hit the road. Unlike running or swimming, riding after a large meal is not a problem as long as you aren’t doing a huge hill or something, since your body is fairly stationary and thefore the food doesn’t get all shook up. From then on, I try to just do 5-10 minute stops every hour or so for a quick snack. Then a big dinner at the end of the day, and more snacks into the evening! Kind of funny, I’m not usually a big eater.
