RE: caffeine

If you get a chance, check out the Eddy Merckx video at Lakeside (La Tete du

Corse? or something like that). Interesting shots of the riders picking up

Coke and Pepsi from the team cars and spectators alike. Of course, they

didn't have Whoopass like we have now, but the sugar and caffeine didn't

seem to hurt.

I believe that it has been pretty well shown that caffeine is a wonder drug

that will allow all of us to win the next race (hold on, that doesn't seem

to make sense....).



Anyway, if you're interested in the science, check out the British Journal

of Sports Medicine website (http://www.bjsportmed.com) and do a search on

caffeine. The research abstracts seem to support the notion that caffeine

may enhance performance for endurance athletes. That's why I'm sitting here



in front of the computer with a mug of coffee instead of riding on the

trainer. (That and my son would rather bang on the keyboard than sit on my

handlebars and have me drip sweat on him.)
