So, apparently I agreed to bike across Iowa in July…..
An old coworker of mine won passes to RAGBRAI and asked me if I’d be interested. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a 7 day, ~460 mile ride with several thousand riders across the southern portion of Iowa. I’m actually super excited for this. Can’t wait until I get my new bike this week, so I can really start training. I think if I put in around 150 miles/week I should be ready for it. This does give me the final push I needed to splurge on the expensive saddle I’ve had my eye on.
Just need to stick to the right nutrition plan and keep up my strength training in addition to all this extra cardio. Tracking everything will be extra important now to ensure that I’m hitting my protein targets and getting enough simple carbs on long ride days without going overboard.

Guestimating here, but if I'll be biking around 6 hours per day, which burns around 4000 calories for me - on top of my TDEE, that leaves a good amount of room for pie and beer.

I like the way you think.

That pie and beer are absolutely necessary for proper hydration and glycemic reload Notelaine. :-)

Pie and beer are absolutely the best for that. I'm sure. Or I'll be telling myself. Please don't tell me anything otherwise :D

Giant, I ordered the Selle Italia SLR Superflow. I currently have the Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow, but it's too squishy.
