When I don't want to get on my bike, sometimes I just don't. Rest is good! But when I need motivating, I think of the difficult rides I've done (that stupid Afton-Hudson ride where I didn't eat enough and started hallucinating after the first few miles, the winter-pocalypse Sober Ride where we had 3 people drop out and multiple flats, epic winter Cranksgiving, Pizza Farm Death March Double Century, 4 day bike camping trip with 110 heat index, etc.) and remind myself that attitude and mindset are always a major part of overcoming the wall/ bonk. And that in the end, I never remember the pain and cramps and near hypothermia, I always remember the party, the friends, the triumph, and the FUN. I try to eat real food as much as possible, which means I cook a lot. My favorite fuel is a big bowl of oat groats or steel cut oats, handful nuts, dried fruit, and a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar or honey. This sticks to your ribs and stays with you. I try to remember to drink a big glass of water with my meal, but sometimes I'm in a hurry and I forget. This thread is inspiring me to write more about what I eat on greaserag.org. The blog needs more recipes! What a great prompt, newyorkjon.

Do what cha like - like what cha do -
We are here once and we get to do what inspires us - eat well, live well, bike as much as you like
In short, live as best you can, take care of those around you, love those you can, and hope to make a positive impact on whatever you can.
Food is what we put in us to allow what can be done - eat well. We do need a recipe forum

I won't share my physical fuel, it's horrible. (lots of beer, fat, salt, etc) Some years ago, I got a series originally aired on Universal Sports (I got it from a torrent site I'm no longer active on) called Take a Seat: Sharing a Ride Across America. Premise is, rider picks up disabled passengers for different legs of a ride across America. One of those riders is my fuel; http://shelby.tv/video/vimeo/22347841/promo-take-a-seat-sharing-a-ride-across-america-kelly-laneTo this day, I still choke up at "Don't stop pedaling. Never stop pedaling." Some day, all of us will have to leave our beloved bikes behind. Some of us will live past that day, some of us won't. If I'm one of those who does live past that day, I don't want to leave any rides left undone.
