We have added a monthly ”TEAM NIGHT” to the mix of activities for team members. This ‘once a month’ meeting will provide several benefits to all members. First and foremost, ‘Team Night’ will be set up as an informative club meeting for members to keep up with what’s going on (upcoming events, races & results, activities, discounts/deals etc.). Most of the info will also be covered in the monthly email newsletter, but some people don’t read the newsletter and others prefer to hear things in person. There will also be a segment each month dedicated to Training Talk. One of the EPC coaches will talk about training objectives for the month and how you can put them to use in your own training. Lastly, there will be a ‘Product of the Month’ presentation from a representative of a specific product brand that will show off the latest and greatest product AND offer a discount purchase opportunity on that night to those who attend. We are working on having some snacks & refreshments as well; so at the very least, you can come and meet some fellow team members, enjoy an refreshment, and get more involved! Also a great time to bring friends and training partners to see what we’re about, see the new shop and consider joining the team.
‘Team Night’ will be held every month on the FIRST Wednesday of the month from
6:30-7:30 pm at Adrenalin Cycles. The first meeting will be April 4th. Lots of racing coming up to talk about and get organized and more weeknight training being added to the calendar to discuss. The POM (Product of the Month) will be
First Endurance Nutrition and we’ll have some free give-aways and good discounts to be had so you can stock up for the year! If you’re not already a Team Adrenalin/EPC club member you can still plan to attend. Meet some members of the club, see what we’re up to, and then you can consider joining the club and making it part of your training and racing routine for 2012!
Mark your calendars for February 8th for ‘Team Night’ at Adrenalin Cycles.
The new shop in Highlands Ranch will open and all Team Adrenalin p/b EPC members are invited to stop in between 6-9 pm for a meet & greet of the Adrenalin Cycles staff, chat it up with fellow team members, and get some incredible discounts from the vendors that will be on hand to show off the latest and greatest products!

Endurance athletes put a large emphasis on their training programs, their equipment and their nutrition to assure they reach their goals. First Endurance consults with hundreds of these athletes primarily on nutrition and how to best fuel your body for long distance racing. Through these consultations with beginners, veterans, elite amateurs and professionals it is quite clear that carbohydrates and how they should be used is vastly misunderstood.
Much of what is misunderstood is likely driven by the media’s generalization of nutrition topics. Often you hear “eating too much sugar makes you fat and is bad for you.” Furthermore clinical data performed on the general population is often extrapolated to endurance trained athletes, who do not fit this category. This has lead to some misunderstanding and misconceptions about carbohydrates. Below are the four most common.
#1 Misconception: Sugars are high glycemic* so they give a sugar high then crash.
