Rudy Project, BNRG and Belgium Budder make for a great training weekend.

This time of year is usually tough since I seem to spend more time in the weight room than on my bike. In reality although my overall miles are cut by about 100 miles a week, my workout time increases. I still get out on my 6 hour bike rides Saturday and Sunday. During the week I get in 3 good bike workouts whether inside on a trainer or outside in the elements. Usually the weather is great here in Colorado but I still have a 31 degree limit. Saturday I set out with my Rudy Project glasses for a great ride in a beautiful state. It was a great day here. Riding along the foothills you could feel the crisp cool air and it made you feel great. I have to say everything looks great through my Rudy’s. The ride today was long and didn’t have many climbs. As I hit the town of Golden, I ran into a buddy of mine. He decided to follow me along. It was getting pretty warm and I had to take off some base layers. I was thankful to have my Rudy Project helmet and Belgium Budder in my arsenal to combat the heat and sweat. As we headed towards Denver, my buddy mentioned he didn’t have any food since he was just going for a little ride and didn’t expect to go for a 6 hour ride. I told him that I had these awesome protein bars. Actually at first he thought I had the typical protein bar that is tough to swallow and tastes horrible. I told him these bars are not your typical protein/power bar that leaves you gasping for water and then gives you a terrible after taste. I gave him a Power Crunch bar from BNRG. He was amazed. This is true, now. He talked and talked about how great these bars are. I told him I use the Proto-whey and Cell charge before and after my rides too. BNRG has some really great products I encourage everyone to use. After the ride my buddy told me that usually typical bars upset his stomach and is sold on Power Crunch. The Power Crunch bars made his ride enjoyable with no side affects at all. Sunday’s ride started out a little cooler and not as much sun. This is not a problem for the Rudy Project equipment. I switched my kerosene lenses to rose and opened the vent a little. This time I headed to a little hillier course. I climbed back to Golden then turned around and headed towards this little climb over Dinosaur Ridge. At the bottom of the climb I switched back to my blue lenses since the sun was much brighter than I when I started. It is so easy to carry extra lenses and switch them out. Rudy definitely has it right. I did hill repeats on Dinosaur Ridge then headed home. I had a Power Crunch bar and headed home. Results are in. 12 hours in the saddle and no eye headaches, soreness or saddle sores thanks to Rudy Project, BNRG and Belgium Budder. All are great products. I highly recommend you visit Excel Sports Boulder to get you some Rudy Project Sunglasses and gear, visit BNRG at http://www.bnrg.com and Belgium Budder at http://beljumbudder.com. Feel like a pro when you ride and look the part. Pedal Hard! Rob
