Adjustments

I’ve been really comfortable on the new Trek Madone 5.2. A little too comfortable. The saddle was a little low and the handlebars a little high. No back pain though. And when you’re drafting like I always do, you don’t need to be too aerodynamic. I lowered the handlebars 25mm and raised the saddle about […]

Reverse Triangle Noda Tone Unga Tone River Sekiyado

Did the reverse of last Saturday’s ride. Headwind on the way home again to add to the fire. Went into the 84kg range this morning for the first time in a year. Still doing the Paleo diet + protein powder. Had a nice chat with an Apex member at the castle. He was doing the […]

Paleo Good stuff

One week on the Paleo diet and I’m back in the winner’s circle. Completely different. Have dropped 2 or 3kgs. Have not had any dairy, processed food, sugar, and a few other things for a week now. I had some sugar withdrawal symptoms. Lots of blueberry, blackberry, raspberry & protein powder frozen smoothies…sometimes with almonds […]
