DO WE NEED TO BRING BACK THE TOUR DE DONUT?
IT'S BEEN A MINUTE since our last Tour de Donut. I know why we haven't repeated the silliness, because it just doesn't jive with the trend in massive carb consumption while racing...
... it was too much.
Maybe we did it wrong?
It was easy to string together 10 stops over the course of about 80 miles,
we live in a donut mecca.
According to the latest trend, Pro Tour racers are consuming 100-120 grams of carb an hour. The science and the results prove this new twist on nutrition vs the old-fashion way.
That is about 4 glazed donuts, and I can verify...
... a donut every 30 minutes was too much.
But!... since I'm 99.999999999% sure we did it wrong,
I'm considering a second attempt.
How'd we foul it up?
We simply weren't riding that hard, and it actually got worse as the sugar caught up with us and nearly put us into a collective coma.
The more I think about it,
the more a second attempt seems prudent.
In the name of science and athletic excellence a Tour de Donut must be reenacted...
... this time we must sprint from shop to shop.
Think of the strides we'll make for humanity.
Think of how smart we'll look powering down a bear claw,
while power away from the bunch...
... oh, the sponsorship opportunities!
