Even if they gave you a month to manage it I would struggle but not a hope in hell in 8 days. I did say I fancied a climbing one for a change but not quite as difficult
Pizza hut and their damn email specials got me hook, line and sinker. I did not feel like cooking. I was also coming off a day that I had not had a lot of carbs. So I left total 1073 under the goal on a day I ate pizza, salad, skim milk, ice cream and watermelon.
I realize I won't get very far ahead like that and it doesn't happen often. But I did stay 1000 under the goal.
My total intake for the day was 1205 so I was ahead by 2673 calories and I ate even better (to me) than with the pizza. I am not starving by any stretch of the imagination. I imagine I still eat more than most all women and quite a few men. I eat a lot of chicken and fish. Food selection and exercise play a big part.
It may have already been done for all I know, just one of the stupid things I think about sometimes when I am riding too long
.
It not even noon and I went through 1/2 the callories already ... Maybe a recovery ride later will be allright, to make room for some desert.Just a side thought, and this is kind of out there and maybe not right for this thread but while I am at it. I have lately wondered if everyone setting themselves to a 24 hour schedule is the right way for everyone to be. I know it has been done probably forever, but I wonder if some people may be better off to use say 30 hours for eating and sleeping and maybe others 18 and so on. Just some weird stuff that ran thru my mind, wish I was a billionaire, I might would research it further...well I mean hire someone else to research it for me.
Great. Hope you like it. I'm getting all excited and it's not even for me.

Calm down Mo i am still unsure its def between this and the focus culebro 5.0...Arghhhh
It's a real toughie. The carbon forks are reckoned to take a fair bit of the road buzz off your hands. Maybe down to the state of the roads where you are and the terrain. If you are planning on starting to hunt out some decent hills the groupset on the culebro may be better suited but if you have mostly flat terrain but some roughish roads I would say the Raleigh. Hopefully when you ride them, you will feel one is just the right one for you.
Would the carbon forks make a whole world of difference because that's whats swinging it @ the moment but the culebro 5.0 has the better groupset..... but with no carbon fork
Riding the bike more will soon give you improvements. Keep at it and show us your progress
Amazing ride Steve. Plenty time to build up speed over distance. Remember we are still all relative beginners. Amazing ride. Definitely earned your kudos on that one.
