These are always interesting questions and experiences as every reader/riders' depletion (sweat, electrolytes water) and method of replenishment varies. The underlying science provides insight. What are electrolyte drinks and how to make them

Thanks for sending that, Patrick! Lentil soup is the best - and a great way to start eating more plants! I could eat it every day. Looking forward to trying this one! C On Tue, Feb 4, 2025 at 7:28 PM Patrick Moore wrote: > As I approach the age of 70 — give me 2 months — I yearn for simplicity >

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

As I approach the age of 70 — give me 2 months — I yearn for simplicity including simplicity in diet. Last night at a friend’s house we ate gourmet cheeses and salamis (not I, I don’t eat meat) and a lovely smoked salmon with various chutneys and savory jams (discovered red chile strawberry jam — i

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

This is an awesome thread. I do most of the cooking in our house and believe that just by avoiding restaurants and takeout (mostly), we are healthier. I have read and been persuaded, usually further in a direction I was already heading, by several books. I liked *How Not To DIe *by Michael Gre

Oh .. grammar. "I would not hesitate" to buy some G-Aide on the road ! DoH ! ;-) On Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 3:46:03 PM UTC-5 Garth wrote: > For an "electrolyte" kind of powder, I drank Gator-aide as a teenager > while riding long distances. Rural stores would have it refrigerated, in

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

For an "electrolyte" kind of powder, I drank Gator-aide as a teenager while riding long distances. Rural stores would have it refrigerated, in glass bottles. Nothing was better, and frankly, for a manufactured bottled drink, all others can only dream of equaling. I've not had it years, but would

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Thanks for those recipes!! I agree that it can definitely be liberating to cook simply sometimes - and sometimes those recipes are the best. Sounds like these are some time-honored favorites. Would love the electrolyte powder recipe too if you get a moment! Agreed that a lot of the pre-made ones

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Thanks Coco. I know some list members might think this to be off topic but to my way of thinking anything that makes cycling more enjoyable is on-topic. So I have a couple of recipes that have become our favorites. Both are air-fryer but I suspect could be baked in the oven but might take longe

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Thanks for your thoughts James! These are exactly the types of stories I was hoping to include in this cookbook. Most Riv Riders are so independent-minded that it's nice to hear what everyone's perspectives are regarding food. Food is so personal and so many of us try so many things to get to a pl

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

I don’t know if I’m bucking any trend here, but my favorite sandwich for a day of riding is a Shooter’s sandwich. If I’m touring, my favorite sandwich is ham and Swiss on half a baguette with a little mustard. The difference? I have to make my own Shooter’s sandwich at home, but I can usually g

Coco, et al: Glad you bumped this as I managed to miss it earlier. I have read Grant's Eat Bacon and Don't Jog as it appealed to my laziness and love of Bacon. Enjoyed it immensely, and I've been on a health journey for a number of years now. Started on 'Wheat Belly' diet as my wife was diagno

Love the dal recipe and the pinto bean recipe Patrick!! Will have to try those, especially now that I have an instant pot. My new favorite has been a good quick low-wheat sandwich: 2 slices of that dense rye bread (unleavened) that comes shrink-wrapped Cashew cream cheese (or regular, but i have

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Not to my taste, but I do recall a friend long ago who designed the ultimate (for him) sandwich: Take 2 slices of wheat berry bread (brown bread with whole grains mixed in; that's what they called it back then). Spread both heavily with peanut butter. Add thick layer of cheddar and of salami. C

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Here's a quick, easy and delicious camp dish that I call 'Cowboy Chili'. It works best if you pass through a town late in the day and are not riding much further as there's canned goods. 1 can of black beans 1 can of sweet corn kernels 1 can of chopped tomatoes (fire-roasted from Trader Joes!) 1

1. Indian dal on the cheap and easy. Boil red or orange or yellow (brown rather earthy for my taste) in 3X water until soft. Cook about 1.5X long grain rice with a bit of cardamom seed. In small skillet or saucepan heat as much oil as you like to "wet" the lentil and rice mixture, and with some

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Sure Coco ! Cooking the raisins and apricots makes them all soft and easy to digest. The raisins balloon up and the apricots, I slice them in hand, first in half then another three slices. If you're unfamiliar with the unsulphured ones they are brown, rather than the bright orange you find wit

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rider Recipes

Those sound delicious Ted!! I'll have to give those a try. Garth - your creamy fruit rice sounds amazing too!! I'm curious about incorporating the dried apricots; I've never tried cooking with them, but I imagine they are a little less intense on the GI system if you get them into some boiling wat
