I was out there Saturday. Rode the loop starting from Oregon, around 30ish miles and included Observatory Hill. I had the map printed out and still took a wrong turn before I noticed there were some markings done on the road. Some were little arrows and a few were painted arrows with a "M" underneath (Milkman?).

It was brutally cold and windy but it was my one chance to get some time on the course. We better hope for no NW wind on race day as it was tough with the rolling hills. I am not a real strong cyclist and averaged a little over 15 mph as it seemed I was always into the wind. I also stopped a few times to get my bearings.

The roads themselves are not in the best shape, but if you're used to riding rural WI roads, it's nothing you haven't seen before. The pavement has the usual expansion cracks, broken asphalt in places and no shoulders. Some sections were really nice. There were a few hardy souls out there.

I am in the market for a new road bike, at several local bike stores I will test ride several bikes. Other than basic fit and components, how should I compare them while doing a test ride?

I own both a road bike and a tri bike. I am wondering which bike I should be riding during off season training, or does it matter?

Generally I bike for 1.5-2 hours, and by time I'm on my way home I'm shaky. When I get home I usually have a headache and am nauseated. What should I eat before or during my workout to prevent this?

Riding Zen means nothing more than being keenly aware of your surroundings and in control of your emotional state at all times. It also means riding safe and riding smart.

I struggled on the bike while climbing the hill portions of the course. I do fine on long straight rides but really have a tough time while hill climbing. Any advice or training tips?
