I'm having more problems avoiding cheese than I do gluten. Maybe because gluten bloats me up, gives me gas pains and makes me fart like crazy. And cheese just tastes good.
Rode the bike for 35 minutes this morning.
I was moaning while going up that last hill, then a fat chick on a bike breezes by me like I'm standing still. I know it's more than a gearing thing, but also know if I keep at it I'll be passing the fat chicks in no time.
NOTE: it is nearly impossible to jump-rope after cycling. Try it sometime and find out why.

Get yourself a simple cycling computer that gives MPH, Avg speed, max speed, trip and odometer. Map out a specific route in the 10 - 15 mile range. Keep a log of how many minutes and what you averaged speed wise. Tuesday's ride(3rd time this season)for me was 12.96 miles with an average speed of 16.7 mph in 46 minutes 32 seconds. 18 mph average is my short term goal. My fastest run I averaged 21+ mph but this was on a carbon road bike on the race side of things. My current bike is a ti gravel racer and perfect for me. Prior to it was a full rigid ss 29er and was usually somewhere in the 16+ mph range.
