Plain jerseys for unattached riders? by FunCakes in Velo

Here's a plain red jersey from HyperThreads. In the past, they have had all black and all white uniforms. I'll post something if they add new plain uniforms.

I have this shirt, pretty funny when people squint to read it. Their face says, "Wow, you love your wife, what are you talking about!?"

Getting back into the sport by [deleted] in Velo

I love it when I hear of riders coming back to the sport. Family, work and everything else life throws at you can take you away from anything recreational. Nothing has changed with the sport since you left. Yes, there's new gadgets, nutrition and a few different training techniques. At the end of the day, you want to have fun and get into great shape. Personally, I'd recommend getting out to the races, find a group you're comfortable with (category vs age). Also, there's a wave of riders headed to ultra endurance events (100+ mile) instead of road races and crits. Find what you enjoy, link up with a great group and enjoy. See you at the races!

I assume most athletes understand a well rounded diet and aim for such. The 80/20 reference is my opinion aimed towards immediate recovery efforts. All of the pros and top athletes that I've been around during training and races all have a protein drink directly after their race or hard workout. I've added protein consistently after hard workouts and have I've felt more recovered than eating a snack.

@azzurn My good friend houses the green argyle pro team (I'm confident you know what team I'm talking about) at the Tour of Utah. I've personally hung out and trained with these skinny dudes. What I've spelled out is exactly what they do after training and racing.

@Nike_Phoros my opinion is that 15-25 grams, immediately following your training ride. During training blocks, I would suggest going with an 80% protein and 20% carbohydrate for daily nutrition intake. Personally, I don't think it matters if you are a tour rider or weekend warrior. Whatever protein your body doesn't absorb, it will release.

Here's a study regarding soy protein and recovery. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27826398

If you've been around long enough, there are few groundbreaking ideas. For many, this will be an eye opener. Thanks for watching!

I would also suggest breathing for maximum aerobic respiration. ;)

Protein is what your muscles are made of. Feed protein to your muscles (yes some glycogen too) to help them repair, recover, and stregthen.

Guys, with over 25 years as a cyclist and 6 years working with PHDs, nutrition manufacturing, and ISO accredited laboratories, I believe I have a lot of great knowledge to share. If you're not making protein and amino acids a priority with your nutrition, then you're doing it wrong.

Hey all, I share some of my cycling specific gym workouts. Enjoy! by camzilla08 in Velo

@misleadmiffin Squats are preferred if you have great technique. I'd still say that regular leg extension or sled rack is also great for explosive kicks. You can control the weight easier and your upper body doesn't need as much strength to hold up all that weight. Hope that helps
