Thanks for that. I have been sitting on the trainer for about 12 hours a week and I needed this bit of moral support to keep sweating it out in my freezing basement.

What’s PBE? Speaking of beer, I only know PBR.

Ted King here. I agree completely Steve and I nearly wrote all about moderation instead of discipline. But it’s all to easy to have one piece of pie segue into another piece of pie into suddenly half the pie and then some a la mode, and then 30 minutes later… there’s no pie. It’s December, friend, and it’s time to have some discipline.

You are killing me with the talk of Pumpkin Pie. I'm trading off 365 days of 'potential' training days in Thailand but cannot find a piece of Pumpkin Pie anywhere. Can you fed-ex me a slice?

I know that pro cyclist have to be disciplined in training and diet, just as anyone else does. It's difficult for me to really believe that eating some sweets is going to “weigh” down a cyclist or be detrimental to his overall performance. If you eat some pie, ice cream, m&m's, or whatever in moderation and burn the calories of an active person [more less a pro cyclist in season or not] that you are going to gain any weight at all. Yea I just rode 300 miles this week but I can't eat the pie.

Unless you don't mind being a blimp there really is no let up! Once you get fit you spend the rest of your life working to STAY fit. That said, I still can't resist my wife's chocolate chip cookies, cake, candy… Just give me another reason to use the trainer and roolers in the “off-season”!
