very cool stuff, Interesting for sure. So make sure you carb up! I probably should have done a few more Acellegels! One that was in my back pouch exploded on my fall! Ira lives on the front range so thats a little over 5K feet. It does help, but I don't want to take the easy out here, I need to improve. When you see the fitness level of the folks out here, it's humbling to say the least.

Actually, I think I need to do more longer rides as a way of exercising my bodies glycogen storage and retrieval.? I wonder if this is what Mike was saying about exercising longer at low VO max.?
I had been content with 90 minute rides figuring that out of that 90 minutes I had enough time at higher heart rates to be healthy, but thinking now that my next step might be to stretch the length of exercise and keep the heart rate lower for some rides.
