Remind me...

..... never to eat a big lunch in the middle of a 25 mile ride.

Especially remind me never to eat a big lunch in the middle of a 25 mile
ride with a big hill one block AFTER the restaurant stop.

It was only my second club ride, and the first one with a lunch stop in
the middle, so I wasn't really thinking about how much I ate.

I made it up the hill, but I was seeing spots by the time I got to the
top. I'm pretty sure that if I had any coronary artery disease, I would
have had a heart attack right then and there. My old carcass needed to
decide whether to give blood to my gut to digest my lunch, or to the
rest of me to get up the hill. Lunch won.

I think I hit 100% VO2max long enough to really blow the gunk out of
every disused corner of my lungs. I was coughing it up the rest of the
ride.

Lesson learned, hehe.

Wow....you must be new to exercise, huh? Big meals and exercise don't work
together.

What did you eat? When I ride, I don't think in terms of "lunch" or regular
meals. It's small frequent feedings along the way.

Did they call it a lunch stop as opposed to a rest stop? What the the rest
of them eat? Was the stop just around lunch time? Curious.

Hmm....newbie. Of course, 25 miles ain't that far, so maybe that's why they
were doing lunch. But I don't even like to get on my bike if I'm even near
feeling full.

I have no problems with biking right after eating a big meal. I often
stop for Taco Bell on the way home from work but that's only 12 miles.
Plus it's pretty flat with only a few modest hills so I don't have to
work too hard.

Seriously though, I find that I sometimes have to poop shortly after
eating. That bothers me when faced with a longish bike ride. But there
seems to be something about riding or perhaps exercise in general that
shuts down both that and the need to pee. I very rarely have to do
those while on even a longer ride, like the 43 mile 5 borough tour
here in NYC or one of the group rides. There must be something that
shifts the body into a pee/poop conservation mode.

When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me things like that--but then, she
used to tell me a lot of stuff I didn't believe. Now, sixty years later you
come along and confirm that she wasn't so dumb after all.

What I'm wondering is why we glossed over the fact that this is km's second
club ride. Way to go! Which group did you ride with, and how was the rest
of the ride?

We want all the details, leave nothing out! ;-D

That's a good point. i've never been on a club ride. I wonder if km was
able to keep up, as that seemed to be a concern before, as I recall.
