Stand up... What have you taken to improve your cycling?

[Stephenite]

Let's take the lead from the professional cyclists and come clean about our sordid past.

You know you'll feel better for it. You now have the chance to clear your conscience, sleep easier at night, wipe the slate clean and start again.

I'll start the ball rolling.

It's not easy to get this off my chest but.. I'm Stephenite, and i would drink coffee in the mornings before cycling to work for the caffeine. Believing it would boost my performance.

Your turn. Be brave. I already feel a weight is lifted from my shoulders.

I had a corticosteroid jab in my bum before a FNRttC but dipped before the ride because I felt it would give me an unfair advantage.

I tried Vick's Sinex once, but it made me sneeze so much I don't think I got any benefit... and Vick wasn't pleased when he found out.

You can forget FNRs if you've started running...

The 6 different types of medication (kidney, doolally blood pressure) I take every day would see me failing blood tests, which seems unfair really; they're performance annihilating drugs.

I almost overdosed on Piriteze once before a high pollen count sportive.

Argoshield5 and Durafix.

Seriously though I have taken to following Arch, the view is much nicer when drafting then leading.

Thankyou for sharing that with us. It wasn't easy, i imagine.

So it's arc(h) welding that gets you going is it?

edit: or should I say arc(h) "welding"??

Fess up mickle! You use it on your chain too, don't you?

 

[DCLane]

Mini Malt loaves. Too many of them, although I did swallow a whole one including the wrapper once.

 

[Melonfish]

Coffee every morning (with or without bike) and copious amounts of beer when i'm not on the bike, you know to get my body into "a" shape.


round is a shape...
