Sponsor UCAN:

Five Tips for New Cyclists on the UCAN Blog

I had an epiphany.  When I eat or drink UCAN, my stomach not only feels good and comfortable.  It finally hit me, it's the same feeling I get from comfort food.  A lot of comfort foods are starchy.  UCAN is comfort food for your training and racing. 

This week UCAN is featuring their ENERGY blends with SuperStarch.  I've been a fan of the CITRUS ORANGE and now the LEMON.  I took a full shaker bottle with 2+ scoops of UCAN and a UCAN COFFEE ENERGY BAR and I was good to go on my Mt Bierstadt 14er Sunday.

UCAN gives you steady energy so you can finish stronger. UCAN Performance Energy and Bars are powered by SuperStarch®.   Use in your training to fuel the healthy way and recover quickly!
