Handcycling Preparation

To prepare for handcycling the 800 miles from Portland to San Francisco Bay Area, promoting my book AND cycling as transportation POLICY, I am building up my endurance by increasing my weekly miles to over 200, while doing monitored weight training, acupuncture, massage, and a very conscious diet that precludes gluten (wheat), casein (dairy, tho butter is okay), phytates (uncultured soy), refined sugar, and nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers). So, I eat most fruits and vegetables, cultured soy such as miso and tempeh, rice, deepwater fish, organic beef and poultry, eggs, oatmeal, teff, natural sweeteners such as honey/agave/rice syrup, beans and lentils, gluten-free bread, and a sundry of other foods. This is a diet that eliminates those foods that tend to be inflammatory while possessing cancer preventing anti-oxidants.
