We weighed in before and after a grueling +/- 1hr hilly trail run. He had lost 5lbs. I had lost 8 (which I promptly replaced....). A pint's a pound the world around. 8# is a gallon (if sweat weighs what water weighs?).

Me, I rarely seem to sweat from the arms & legs and only from the front of the abdomen when it's really hot or I'm really pushing it. I suspect you notice that sweat more where it doesn't dry off as fast. Do you wear a helmet? Do you have hair on your head? Even if not, you probably notice sweat running down your face into your eyes or mouth more than you would on your legs. The back is easy to explain, unless you ride backwards, it just doesn't catch as much air. Just back from a beautiful 2 hour ride. I went East. A good work out but surprisingly crisp! 10 C according to TWN, and breezy. Actuallly I notice I sweat where the straps of the backpack are against my chest.

"bryanska" wrote in message ups.com... I sweat in a weird place: my left wrist. From age 8 to 18, I always wore a plastic digital watch on my left wrist. Now, sometimes, that wrist breaks out into a sweat exactly where the watch would be. I notice that often when the only riding I've done for a while is my 15 minute commute, when I do go for a longer ride I seem to break out into a sweat right at the 15 minute mark. I guess my body expects me to stop at that point, became acclimatized to a 15 minute effort. -- 'Do you really think any part of this should come to the attention of the authorities?' -malcom's dad |

I think you'll find that you sweat all over too. As far as your lady friend, 2 things come to mind, perhaps she dressed differently than you do, or that 'all over sheen' was when she had just stopped riding. When you're riding hard, the sweat is drying as soon as it's excreted (depending on local weather), when you stop riding the air passing over your body stops too, but your sweat glands keep going for a minute or two.

Well then I come close to fiction because we have 110 F days here and I have done some hard yard work where I drank about a gallon an hour to keep up. I can't even work out that hard on the bike because I can't carry enough water, and the sweat blinds me anyway. At home I can just hose the sweat off and cool down at the same time. Bill Baka |

That's about how I measure my hydration for long hot rides, with the scale before and after, and I have lost up to 6 pounds (out of 160) after a hot ride, even when drinking water from many bottles.

Peter: Bill Baka is all fiction... HAND - Ride Safe Not fiction about the sweating thing. When it is over 110 here it doesn't matter that it is a dry heat, it's just god damned hot, and exercise turns on the sweat faucets. I had the rare opportunity last year to be dehydrated with my belly sloshing around about a half gallon of juice, O.J., V-8, and Gatorade, but not being absorbed as fast as I could sweat them out riding up a continuous hill with no shade at about 3:00 PM. I just kept going until I found a lone tree that provided some shade and de-biked and sat for about a half hour while my body caught up some with the fluid absorption. Riding de-hydrated is no fun and with a full belly of juice it is just plain maddening, but does happen. Bill Baka BTW, check your facts. A small person of maybe 100 pounds can't sweat that much but some of the people I know can, at 6'8" and 350 pounds. You would not want to walk up to him and tell him he is full of ****, could be the last time you argued something stupid. I have worked outside with him on some heavy products and a half gallon disappears every time he takes a drink, somewhat more than each half hour. |

Riding de-hydrated is no fun and with a full belly of juice it is just plain maddening, but does happen. It's very common, nobody can resorb as fast as they can sweat. If you did as much sweating as you claim you'd know that. Juice sucks for rehydrating, you'd know that, too. BTW, check your facts. A small person of maybe 100 pounds can't sweat that much but some of the people I know can, at 6'8" and 350 pounds.

Your friend doesn't sweat more because he is fat, he just has less heat tolerance. Your macho posturing is tedious. |
