Cycling Alaska in Winter
February 18, 2008 / 29 minutes
Since 1988, my friend Rocky Reifenstuhl has been riding the Yukon in Iditabike, the Yukon Arctic Ultra and the Iditarod Trail Invitational. On February 24, he begins an 1100 mile trip to Nome. If you shiver at the thought of riding at 25 degrees, consider a ride at minus 25 degrees! It's all about the clothes and the mind. And the incredible beauty: "Hoar frost glistens in my headlight as I alternate in awe between the absolute desolate, white indifference and the deafening silence of this black spruce-covered permafrost country. Tires crackle out a report that tells me this snow is COLD." So fix yourself a hot cup of cocoa and listen up. You can follow Rocky's progress on his website.

Suzanne is a former elite runner and cyclist as well as a nutrition therapist. In this audio, she discusses eating "right", finding your ideal weight and the problem with weight loss as a goal. Good nutrition and healthy eating habits are built around three key elements: mind, muscle and mouth. Just as a three-legged stool is most sturdy with each leg intact, so is our nutritional foundation. Her book, Endurance Sports Nutrition, is applicable to all cyclists.
