I just started road biking, errr about a week ago, and I'm already enjoying it very much. I'm training for a ride from Seattle, WA to Vancouver, BC (and blogging about it, so I don't chicken out!) and I'd appreciate any advice you have for what kinds of performance supplements might be most effective on a long trip like that... thanks :)<br /><br />188miles.blogspot.comMcCraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440306396489076555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190090153914400044.post-51283418444803674722011-04-06T23:00:19.561+01:002011-04-06T23:00:19.561+01:00I agree with all the above!
