GamJams Review Recovery Drinks
Beer glorious Beer!
That's what I use... Shocker I know.
But after a good (or bad) race or ride what's better than a nice cold beer or three?
And it really doesn't matter what kind. Times are tough and I aint rollin so on weekly rides I generally drink the working mans classic PBR. But every once in awhile, its good to get a more high end brew.
Andy (of fat frogs) uses phos gen as shown in pic below. And I've heard of quite a few others that use it as well.
An un named source uses endurox r4 mixed with gatorade. Sounds like a bit much to me but this is all preferential remember.
I used to and I know of a lot of people who use the endurox r4 recovery drink and speak very highly of its benefits.
I've seen choco milk being used and sometimes it makes me want some.
it usually takes me a while before I can eat real food post ride/race but when I can I prefer mexican food.
Mark over at www.runriderace.com always orders pizza and that always hits the spot.
And let's not forget or look past the good ol fasion soda pop. Namely coca cola and or sunkist!
That's all I got for now. Feel free to chime in with yours in the comments section.

Amphib Assault
People have axed, "where's the Blog?" I say Facebook killed the Blog!
It's true but I have kept this thing afloat and I will try to throw some fun stuff up from time to time.
Today was the amphib assault crit put on by my team.
At first the weather was typical for this race with the sun and heat, but the wind was non existent. Until the freaky black clouds rolled in dumping giant droplets of rain down on us.
I must admit, it made my race so much more fun. Otherwise it would have been boring.
I had a pretty good time doing a roadie event which I haven't been doing much of this year. Been having a blast going back to my roots in the dirt! It was a great workout and hopefully put some speed in the legz. I enjoyed watching all of the other races.
Here's a few of my pics!

What the What???
I thought there was only one bully on that team... Here's Rob D getting bullied outta the way by none other than a teammate Geno! I almost spit my coffee out when I saw this. Geno, Rob, please chime in and tell us what's up. Speak on it!

Snowball Crit #1
I've never been more excited for a Snowball Crit...
Not to say that I have crazy form or anything (that's not the case at all).
I always try to support the VBV crew, which this year was the 10th edition of the Snowball. I will be missing #2 due to a MTB race.
The weather was typical of a lot of cross races i've done this past season so for me the cold, rain, and wind didn't bother me so much. I made sure I was there early, put the tent up, got dressed, put the embrocation on, and hit the trainer. Got to the start line wearing lots of clothes and peeled them off just before the actual start (just like a cx race).
I have been treating this time of year as my off season but I still wanna whoop it up on the road. After an un fulfilled cx season due to injuries and weddings---I feel like I have some angst to take out on the road this spring. So after some good miles on the road, i'm eager to see what I come up with...
It's always good to get the first race under the belt and with no problems. I got to see who is riding well, and who is not. I was one person out there and the attacks were a plenty. I was glad to play agressively and didn't get put in the hurt locker. I missed a move or two, but i'm okay with that. I'm out there to do work, and have fun! Oh, and I got a $10 preme which got me a few post race brews at hometown heroes!
I didn't see a crash all day, which is a great sign...
I would like to thank Mike P, Mike C, Lynn, and Art for breaking down camp and putting my bike on the car all while the wind went wild and the snow was coming at us sideways.
Only the tough kids showed up to race, so there was no drama to speak of...
And thanks to Cindy for bringing me a special homebrew called "4 Dog Ale" made by the Dazzler and Creedance! That shizat was tight!!! The dawg wants more! panting...
