Hungry Sam Poll!

As you all know, I eat (somewhat) healthfully. I bake instead of fry, I use bison instead of beef (sometimes), and I try to limit my caffeine intake. But before epic bike rides, I get to carbo load.

Epic bike rides like the 100 km ride I'm doing this Saturday (June 11) to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. NMSS is a wonderful organization that invests in promising MS cure research but also helps provide supports and services for those already living with MS and Bike MS is one of their premier fundraisers.

I'm riding because I love cycling, because the Maryland Eastern Shore area is supposed to be beautiful, but also because I have a personal connection to MS that strengthens my resolve and provides the impetus for 62.4 miles of hard cycling. If you're interested in helping to sponsor my ride and fight MS, as I know many of my readers already have, here is a link to my donation page.

But here's where the poll comes in: CARBO LOADING.

If I'm going to bike that far, you'd better be sure I'm going to eat my weight in total junk the day before (and let's not kid around, probably the day after, too). So: tell me in the comments section what/where I should eat before or after my ride!

• It could be a greasy, cheesy, gloopy Five guys or Shake Shack burger!
• It could be a serving of Hush Puppies that would kill a lesser man!
• It could be a Gatorade cooler full of milkshake!

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. But for this to work, I need YOU to tell me: What should my horrible/delicious treat to myself be?

I'll post about the results, and obviously a picture of the food. Comment away!

EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD FROM PASTA MIA. Seriously, if I were carbo-loading, I would go nuts at Pasta Mia with their tortellini in cream sauce with peas & prosciutto. It's basically the best meal in the world.

Well unless anyone else comments, Pasta Mia it is ;)

I heard that the best way to carbo-load is to drink gallons of warm milk

I have never been to Pasta Mia, but.... You did recommend it to my friend looking to carbo-load before a marathon and she gave it her stamp of approval :)

Hah thanks Robert...
