Team manager John Herety - “Eat and drink little and often” If you are riding steadily, you don’t need large amounts of food. In fact, eating too much will stop you absorbing fluids and dehydration will get you long before low fuel levels do. Regular bites of a cereal bar – maybe a nibble every 20 minutes or so and a full bottle of water an hour – will be about right. More water will be needed on the long climbs.
Something I need to work on.
Raise an eyebrow
Here’s a factoid to get your skin crawling, if it isn’t already: At birth, we’re all mite-free. By age 60, virtually every human adult is infested with face mites, mostly around the eyes and nose. They’re transmitted by physical contact so you can probably thank your partner for sharing more than just a smooch.
Face mites were discovered in the mid-1800s. First by Frederick Henle who found them living in earwax, but wasn’t quite sure what to make of them. He wrote to a colleague, G. Simon, who had simultaneously discovered them residing in the pimples on the noses of patients. Simon consulted an entomologist and the mites were classified as members of the Class Arachnida, Order Acari. They were eventually named Demodex folliculorum.
In 1963, a Russian scientist named L. Kh. Akbulatova noticed that some face mites were smaller than others. He initially believed them to be a subspecies of D. folliculorum, but it was later determined that the shorter mites were a distinct species, now known as D. brevis.
So humans have the privilege of being home to two species of mites.
As you can see from the image above – a scanning electron micrograph by Steve Gschmeissner depicting some mites colored green hunkered around the base of a yellow-colored eyelash – they aren’t much to look at. Though related to spiders and possessing eight legs, their appendages are stubby and used almost entirely for gripping onto a hair.
Face mites, which feed on oily secretions from sebaceous glands and dead skin cells, typically spend their entire life cycle tucked inside hair follicles, moving out only when things get too crowded. They are photophobic, venturing out and about (perhaps in search of a new hair/home) only in the dark. They move at a galloping rate of 1 centimeter per hour, less than half an inch. A healthy adult has roughly 1,000 to 2,000 face mites at any given time.
Scientists have found no clear evidence that face mites contribute to or cause any diseases, but there have been some correlations with conditions like rosacea.
Yucky. That's all I can say.
I juice regularly but realize that I use too many fruits and not enough vegetables.
San Diego is starting to return to its beautiful self as the wildfires dissipate. Just in time for a four hour, 48-mile training ride. My longest ride to date! Training for two days of 75 miles back to back during the Pedal the Cause cycling fundraiser.
Hoping we can return to these beautiful views soon instead of plumes of smoke and fire tornadoes that have engulfed parts of north San Diego County over the few days. I've got a ride planned for tomorrow and hope to share more beautiful views in place of images of wildfires.
My turbo training was momentarily paused when a sweet soul stopped to commune with me. My legs enjoyed the short-lived reprieve and I smiled at the sound of a friendly call.
A beautiful morning to ride but this week is going to get hot. This week's cycling lesson will be on good hydration abd keeping cool. If you have tips please let me know. I added evaporated coconut to my water for electrolytes and eating plenty of hydrating fruits. http://m.bicycling.com/training-nutrition/nutrition-weight-loss/8-foods-recover-and-rehydrate
Beautiful day to continue my training ride. Today was a relatively flat 2.5-hour ride on a recovery week.
1. Eat & Drink Early & Consistently
One of the biggest mistakes riders make is forgetting to eat and drink early and consistently throughout the day. While this is plain common sense, it‘s often disregarded during a ride/race—a mistake that can spell disaster no matter how well trained or prepared you are.
As a general rule, you need to replace at least half the calories you burn each hour, and you need to begin replacing those calories in the first hour if you’re going to be out for more than three hours. On a flat road without drafting, the average cyclist will burn about 200-300 Calories at 10-15 mph, 300-600 Calories at 15 to 20 mph, and 600 to 1,000 Calories at 20 to 25 mph.
Regarding hydration, on a hot day your fluid needs may be as high as 1 to 2 liters an hour. The best way to get an appreciation of how much fluid you might need is to weigh yourself before and after a workout. The weight you lose is primarily water weight, where a 1-pound loss is equal to about 16 ounces of fluid. As a general rule, try not to lose more than 3 percent of your body weight over the course of a long ride.

I need to learn to eat more while on the bike now that my rides are getting longer. Normally I just wait until I've finished the ride. Hmm...
Can you get sunburned on a cloudy day? What SPF is most effective? How often should I reapply sun lotion? May is Melanoma Awareness Month, and as summer approaches, it’s important to know the answers to these questions to avoid the dark side of the sun. In this video, Gregory Daniels, MD, PhD, talks about about skin cancer, including the warning signs, treatment options and what types of sunscreen you should be packing in your suitcase before taking off on vacation.
For those of us who spend a lot of time outdoors, especially in year round climates like San Diego, we should spend more time protecting our skin from sun damage.
This weekend my husband had workshop in Los Angeles this weekend. I was planning a Saturday morning ride. So we decided to combine the day. We drove to LA and while he was tied up I rode along Manhattan Beach. It was a great change of scenery and beautiful ride. Plus, We had a nice chat during the drive. Win, win.
The cost of cars is driving more people to give up their set of wheels and seek other options.
Inspired by the ucsdcancer oncologist mentioned here and my efforts to train for Pedal the Cause San Diego 2-day cycling fundraiser, I'm commuting three times a week by bike. I am working up to daily but I want to take it slow and easy to prevent injuries.
While I may never get rid of my car altogether--how do I take my three large dogs to the vet otherwise?--I do want to make a healthy choice of riding more often for my own physical well being and for the planet.
Pedal the Cause raises money for cancer research happening at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Having lost my grandfather to lung cancer, I want to help raise money to find new treatment options for people who face this devastating disease while doing something I love, cycling.

I'm doing a lot of reading to prepare for my 2-day cycling fundraiser benefiting cancer research. But the most important thing I'm doing is getting time on the saddle. I'm so glad to live in San Diego because the views keep you going. Although the hill getting to this spot is a little nerve racking. I don't mind the ascend it's the descend that gets me. Still working on feeling comfortable on those fast downhill rides. Everything I read goes out of my head the minute the velocity increases!
Earth Day meant it would be another bike-to-work day. Good thing too or I wouldn't have seen Sherry and the adorable little burrowing owl from the Living Coast Discovery Center when passing Little Italy.
This past weekend was my first ride up to Mount Soledad. It was a long and slow climb up but I felt good. Training rides are paying off but I have to learn to climb abd descend better. The views were incredible from here!
It was a chilly 60F this morning in San Diego which forced me to wear long sleeves on my bike to work commute. I added a few extra miles to warm up. Brr. ;) A quick stop on the return at the Old Town San Diego cemetery.
No full moon today so what's up with the crazy critters today's? This morning's bike ride had no less than one dozen squirrels running across the path as I rode past and four different incidence of a swarm of bugs bombarding my face. And just when I think it's all I find myself making a u-turn when I come across a police car in the middle of the bike path. No way around it. On the bright side, it was a beautiful 70 degrees this morning.
