One batch contained:
1 3/4 cup filtered water
1/8 tbs natural pink Himolayan salt
1/8 tbs baking soda
1 fresh squeezed organic Lemmon
4 tbs coconut blossom sugar
1/4 cup organic unfiltered apple juice
The resulting 4 cup batch needed to be watered down 50% so it was enough for 2 tall 24 oz water bottles. It was tasty and unlike my last attempt with honey and tea, it did not hurt my head and it contained citrus to slow the sugar absorbtion
The clean diet is going OK. I hove cheated a little here and there on sugar and alcohol and the sugar is an acne trigger for sure. I am trying to substitute Clif bars for apples followed by a loaded salad with beats, seeds, and sweet potatoes post ride with acceptable results. I'm feeling good, but hungry most of the time. I am now between 135 and 140 lbs and floating up hills with relative ease. My beer belly has been replace by a six pack and my upper body is building up more than my legs oddly. Cycling seems to work every part of my body. Must be the constant out of saddle hill climbs out here.
I believe I can get into the top 10 if not top 5 on most of the hard climbs around Everett on Srava. I hit 3rd on the 75th st Boeing climb in Everett shown above in work clothes with a messenger bag. Still a long way from KOM though. If I can take that top spot over, I believe it would stand for a long time.
