    Hey all

    I am wondering, what is the best cadence to keep at a crit? I think I spin to fast and people tell me to drop it down, but others say do what ever you want. Whats the best thing to do?

    Also, I have a big road race coming up, 50 miles with quite a bit of climbing. What is the best thing to eat for breakfast before the start and when should I eat it? I havn't ever done such a long race before so I'm kind of clueless.

    Thanks

    I do not think you want to follow my diet. Before some races I eat 2 Egg McMuffins from McD's. But seriously though, I usually eat a muffin or power bar 1 hour prior to start. Then 30 minutes prior I eat a banana. Most of my races do not start till 10:30, so I get to eat a full breakfast at 7am.
