ON THE COVER Representing a rich biking heritage in Redlands, members of several local cycling clubs ride some of the same roads that make up the courses in the Redlands Bicycle Classic. Behind them is the Police Department annex at the intersection of Vine and Cajon streets. Dan Rendler, a former RBC president and a longtime volunteer, is in the yellow jersey.

PAINTING, PEDALING & PANCAKES Pro cyclists racing in the circuits and criteriums are the marquee events, but there’s much more to experience: paintings by Tracy Bailey Holmes that beautifully capture the Classic, public rides that put locals in the spotlight, and flapjacks prepared by Kiwanis members to get the morning going.
28TIPS FROM THE PROS To perform their best in competition, cyclists need to train hard and be smart about what they eat. Can weekend athletes, or even those wanting to improve their fitness, learn from the pros? Absolutely, say two athletes who race and also have other careers.

Race day3 0 y e a r s o f t r a d i t i o n
For 30 years, it has been a moment
of inspiration, perspiration and challenge.
Teams line up, sporting brightly colored
spandex sprinkled with logos, atop finely
tuned, carbon-fiber machines that defy such a
commonplace description as “bicycle.” They are
muscular and lean young men and women; they are
pro and amateur, emerging athletes early in their
careers and comeback stories returning from
life-threatening accidents and illnesses which sideline
the less-courageous.
They invade, they inspire and, once again, they
return to redlands — a city of professors, brick
buildings and orange groves — to kickoff a U.s.
national race calendar that ranges from California’s
own amgen Tour of California to the Tour of Utah
and beyond. Pasadena has its rose Parade; Boston its
marathon; redlands, the Classic.
Like other local traditions, this event adds luster
to the community’s reputation — not just because
of its riders, but because of the people of redlands.
It’s an all-volunteer show, from president to road
marshal. riders stay in local homes; they visit local
schools and they have included some of the best the
sport has known.
“Where Legends are Born,” the race slogan, is no
idle phrase. american Chris Horner, amgen winner
and Tour de France rider, was here; australian Cadel
evans, Tour de France winner, was here; american
Tejay van Garderen, best young rider in the 2012 Tour
de France, competed here … among many other racers
well-known to cycling aficionados.
More importantly, this event is for everyone,
especially those who want to see the sport, close-up.
It’s no wonder that people line the streets — especially
on criterium day in the downtown — to see the blur
of color fly by.
— Don Sproul

Redlanders open their doors and hearts to riders
By Carla SanderS
For Tammy rubio, when the redlands bicycle Classic rolls into town each year, it is a much-anticipated event.
“it’s like a holiday,” she said. “We get the house ready, get the beds ready and clean out the refrigerator so they have room for their food.”
“They” are the members of the bike teams she has hosted in her home for more than two decades, ever since she spotted an advertisement seeking host families.
“i thought it would be a great way to support the teams,” she said, noting that most were amateurs back in 1991 when the first riders — five men from Ventura — stayed there.

She enjoyed the experience so much that
she has hosted teams every year since, and
from 1998 to this year her house has been
home base for the 8-10 members of the
Jelly Belly men’s team. It’s been an eclectic
mix, with riders from Canada, Australia,
Mexico, Europe and elsewhere, she said.
They are usually at her home for about
two weeks, as the San Dimas Stage Race
precedes the Redlands classic.
“I found that it made watching the race
much more enjoyable,” she said of hosting.
“We are rooting for the riders we know.
We have developed so many friendships
through the years and some of the riders
change teams so now we know riders on
several teams.”
This link to the teams — and the city
itself — has meant a great deal to Rubio,
who has lived in Redlands for 32 years
and works as an occupational therapist
at Redlands Community Hospital.
“The experience has connected us to the
city through the years. It would be really
hard to move anywhere else because
of that connection.”
Such devotion is not uncommon with
host families, who see the Classic —
holding its 30th event this year, April 2-6
— not only as a world-class bicycle race,
but also as something that shines a
spotlight on a hometown for which there
is tremendous pride.
“Since 1985 the Redlands Bicycle Classic
has attracted thousands of spectators and
participants to the city of Redlands,” said
Mayor Pete Aguilar. “These visitors and
participants contribute to the rich culture
and sense of community that make this
such a unique event. We are thrilled to
have a role in such a lasting legacy.”
In 2013, 81 families hosted 268 riders,
and this year’s numbers are similar, with
a possibility of about 300 riders, according
to Serena Chow, host housing coordinator
for the past eight years. She and
co-coordinators Leslie Pompa and Ann
Brandt are in charge of finding homes for
the riders, a task that begins in earnest
each January.
For Chow, it’s an extension of her role as
a home host since 1997, with the exception
For Cid Breyer hosting teams has generated 20 years of memories, as well as photos of riders, like members of the Web-Cor team at right, programs, patches and other collectibles. Breyer has filled two scrapbooks with the keepsakes.

of a two-year gap. She starting hosting
while living in nearby Loma Linda and
continued on when she moved to Redlands
11 years ago.
“The first year I hosted the entire team
— about nine people. After that, I was
hooked,” said added.
These days she holds an open house at
her home the Sunday before the race starts,
where host families can come and mingle.
It’s that camaraderie that has been an
added benefit of housing the teams.
“I see host families throughout the year
at the store and around town. Friendships
have developed. It’s been a great way to get
to know other members of the community.”
One of those members is Cid Breyer,
who has hosted women’s teams for 20
years.
“This is definitely a community event.
When I go to the races there is such
community support, and I am loving that
the race has continued here each year,”
she said.
The pride in her hometown is evident
as Breyer talks about the city where she
was born and attended school. She also
graduated from the University of Redlands
— twice: first with an undergraduate
degree in elementary education and liberal
arts and later with a master’s in educational
leadership. Now retired, the former fourth-
grade teacher said she also appreciates how
In addition to team photos, host families sometimes find the young riders who spend time in their homes go on to compete in the Olympics and other world events.

As a member of PossAbilites, Andre has created the types of friendships that motivate him to pursue his dreams. His belief in the program has even inspired him to help others discover their passions. Like Loma Linda University Health, Andre believes in contributing time to the things that matter most. That’s what keeps him happy, healthy and motivated. And as a hopeful for the 2016 Paralympics, Andre knows there’s no limit to what he can accomplish.

the whole town gears up for the
race, including students.
“I love the way they get the kids
in the schools involved in good
activities. I always spoke to my
classes and sometimes the teams
would come to the school to talk to
the kids,” she said.
She became involved in hosting
in 1994, after watching the race for
several years with her family. She
has often housed 14 or so people
for up to six days.
“When I first started, two of my
four children were still at home,”
she said. With their departure, she
is able to accommodate a full team
using her home and a small back
house on her property.
Most mornings the racers grab
a quick breakfast and head out the
door. It’s the evenings that are special.
“We can eat a whole meal together
and sit and talk and discuss the day
and other things,” she said.
Breyer prepares all the evening meals
after checking with the team manager in
advance about any special needs, such as
vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free racers.
Reflecting on the past 20 years, Breyer
said she’s never had a bad experience.
“One of the things that is such a benefit
is that I’ve made such wonderful friends,”
she said. “We kept in contact through
cards and letters and phone calls and now
through Facebook.
“I still see these people as friends.”
She’s also been thrilled to see riders
she’s known compete on the world stage.
Some years ago, six or seven cyclists who
had stayed in her home participated in the
cycling events at the Summer Olympics.
“That was so exciting,” she said.
Host families have been such an
inspiration that others have joined
their ranks.
“I have had several friends who have
started hosting because of our experience,”
Rubio said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity.
I foresee doing this far into the future.”
Long after the teams have gone, cards and notes trickle in. Relationships can continue through the years, as evidenced by these items saved by Cid Breyer.

technology | bicycle gear
revol utionBy Don Sproul
‘I have to admit I’m really pretty amazed that it’s survived 30 years,”
says Craig Kundig, one of the founders of the Redlands Bicycle Classic
and owner of Cyclery USA shops in Redlands, Riverside and Rancho
Cucamonga. The Classic, he recalls, was launched as a part of an effort by
then Mayor Carole Beswick to promote the city. What was happening in 1985 when the
Classic first appeared? It may not seem that long ago, but here’s some historic context:
Ronald Reagan was president. It was the year seat belts became mandatory in the United
States; the year internet domain names were invented, and Madonna was on her “Like
a Virgin” tour. California-born Greg LeMond was a year away from the first of his three
Tour de France victories. A lot has changed. And while much of the city’s downtown has
survived through those years, the sport along with the Classic itself has evolved. Kundig
pulled out some period bicycles
with us to look at how the
technology has moved forward.
Derailleurs >>The function and the components of today’s derailleurs, the mechanical components which shift the chain across the gears at both the front and back of the bikes, haven’t changed. But today they are made of lighter, more efficient parts and push the chain across a larger range of gears. Ten speeds were the order of the day in 1985. Today’s bicycles easily slide past 20-plus gear combinations with 10 or 11 cogs on the rear cassette and two or three chainrings on the front.
>> ‘Skid lids’ Better known as helmets, the first head gear wasn’t much more than leather shield for the skull. By 1985, foam products had entered the marketplace, but better venting and ergonomic strap adjustments were still to come. Today, manufacturers are working to make headgear that protects against concussion, not just fractures. While ultra-styled racer helmets can cost hundreds of dollars and include time-trial aerodynamic models (below left), the basic helmet is quite affordable.
How cycling has changed through the years …
revol ution
Bicycle racing didn’t begin with the Tour de France, as this lithograph available in the Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Catalog shows. The sport has a long history even in the United States. This artwork, from the Calvert Lithograph Co. of Detroit, Mich. in 1895, depicts a group of cyclists in brightly colored livery powering toward the finish as crowd cheers and a reporter stands by to document the event. The image is online at http://1.usa.gov/1oHLA30
>> Gear shift mechanics Gear shifters, above, have floated around the bicycle since 1985. Once relegated to the down tube, part of the frame that angles downward and away from the handlebars, shift levers are now paired with brake levers on the handlebars. A high-tech addition that has just emerged is a wireless system that allows riders to shift gears with a tap on the levers. It has a computer brain mounted on the underside of the handlebars, at left.

>> Carbon fiber, aerodynamicsBicycle manufacturers generally have moved past steel and aluminium for higher-end road bikes and landed on carbon fiber as the material of choice for frames. Besides being light, strong and shaped for reduced wind resistance, the carbon fiber flexes to give riders a gentler ride which reduces fatigue in long events. Also built into the frame are innovations like the seat post design, above, which further softens road rattle.
Disc brakes >>While rim brakes, far right, with wire pulls are still common on the road, disc brakes mounted on the hub of the wheel, near right, have greater stopping power. And as wheels have been redesigned with lighter, more aerodynamic materials, brakes near the center of the hub that don’t drag on or damage the wheel have proven more effective. Some systems are hydraulic and require even less effort by the rider.
>> Shoes & cleats >> Back in the day, riders strapped their feet into toe-baskets, right, so as they pedaled, they could get power on both the upstroke and downstroke. It was a move forward from the wooden blocks that were once nailed into the rider’s shoes, Kundig says. Today’s cyclists use a variety of cleat styles which attach to the bottom of their shoes and lock into a lightweight, modified pedal. (The center of the shoe at left has several points where a cleat can be attached.)

Poster ArtworkCapturing the flavor, the feel and the
theme of each Redlands Bicycle Classic
in an original oil painting has been the
goal of Tracy Bailey Holmes since 2007.
She has depicted cyclists speeding past
what is now the police annex (the former
City Hall), along the Sunset Loop and by
the A.K. Smiley Public Library.
For this year’s 30th annual race, the
third-generation artist also highlights the
organizers, volunteers and fans because
of their important roles in the Classic’s
success.
“It’s so amazing that a race like this can
be put on for so long by a community,” she
said. “A lot of races don’t last this long
because it’s a tough thing to keep up —
the road closures, the police, the support.
It takes a lot of work,
so I wanted to focus
on an amazing group
of people who really
have made it happen
this many years.”
The scene in the
center of the painting
is of Cajon Street,
with the Fox Event
Center on the left.
Look closely at the
crowd and there
many identifiable faces — Carole Beswick,
the first woman mayor of Redlands and a
key player in the team that helped launch
the Classic; Craig Kundig, a longtime
former race director who owns Redlands
Cyclery USA; Scott Welsh, the Classic’s
current marketing director; and others.
“People in the crowd are those who have
made big contributions,” said Holmes,
adding that one of the challenges was to
have the faces — each about the size of
her thumb — be as realistic as possible.
A work-in-progress view of part of Tracy Bailey Holmes’ painting for the 2014 Redlands Bicycle Classic.

“I didn’t get
everybody, but I did
try to get as many as
I could.”
Framing the work
are the winners of
previous Classics,
each wearing the
team jersey from the
year they won.
Holmes has been working more than
a couple months on the painting, which
will be scanned and reprinted on posters
available during the event. A lot of that
time was spent doing research so she could
include as much detail as possible
in the faces, jerseys and landmarks.
That said, she does admit to taking some
artistic license: The view from Cajon
depicted in the painting doesn’t exist in
real life. The mountains, for example, that
are a prominent feature are actually more
to the east.
Said Holmes: “Since it’s for the 30th
anniversary, I wanted to focus on
everything that’s great about Redlands —
the palm trees, orange trees, beautiful
mountains and buildings. It’s all in there.”
R.U.F.F. RidesMan’s Best Friend will find lots
of pals among the members of Redlands
Unleashed Fidos and Friends. The
nonprofit stages a benefit bike ride every
year during the Classic, with proceeds
used to maintain and improve the
Redlands Dog Park and also to support
other animal-related causes.
This year’s ride starts at 7:30 a.m.
Saturday, April 5. Participants may sign up
as early as 6 a.m. that morning, at the
northwest corner of Cajon and Vine streets.
There are four routes for the R.U.F.F.
rides: 5 and 10 miles suitable for families
and recreational cyclists; 31 miles that
takes riders into the hills of Redlands; and
the 62-mile Metric Century, which includes
many of the same roads that challenge
professional cyclists and Olympic hopefuls.
Redlands Dog Park, which opened in
June 2011, is at the northwest corner of
Ford Park on Redlands Boulevard.
Information: www.redlandsruffride.com.
Public RacesInspired by watching the athletes
competing in the criteriums, circuits and
other events? The Public Races give cyclists
of all ages and abilities an opportunity to
spin their wheels on the same downtown
course that the world-class pros use.
Riders compete in categories, from 3-year-
olds on tricycles to adults 45 and older
riding all types of bikes. School-age boys
and girls can square off in the School Duel
competition; the school with the most
participation is awarded the School Duel
Cup.
Race numbers and event T-shirts are
distributed during registration, starting at
7 a.m. Saturday, April 5, on the lower level
of the parking structure on Citrus Avenue at
Fifth Street. The Public Races begin at 9 a.m.

By Don Sproul
Meet Joy McCulloCh
of Big Wheel Coaching and
team KHS-Maxxis p/b
JaKroo and triathlete Jess
Cerra who operates Fit Food by Jess and
used to be a Focus Bikes pro rider. Their
advice in a nutshell: ride smart. Eat clean.
Train with a purpose. Do your homework,
or better yet, hire a coach or a nutritionist.
It’s that simple, and that hard.
But the question is a bit more complex:
How does one lose fat, while not losing
strength and muscle? It can result in a
vicious cycle: battling the numbers on the
scale, increasing exercise, decreasing
calories all in an effort to lose weight —
when the real aim is actually lean fitness,
health and strength.
McCulloch is a good one to offer help.
She’s a former redlands P.E. teacher; she’s
also a road and cyclocross racer who works
as a trainer coach. Joy and her husband
Brian live in Yuciapa and are both on the
KHS-Maxxis p/b JaKroo cycling team
roster for 2014. Like the team name
suggests, she’s cobbled together a life based
around her love of cycling and fitness with
a variety of roles that makeup a career.
one might breakdown the cyclists’ drive
to fitness into two parts: training and
strategy; diet and nutrition. Where
McCulloch is versed in the overall

JOY McCULLOCH || Fitness & Skills
Ideas from McCulloch for both cyclists
and people wanting a more fit lifestyle:
take stock — Whether you are a
recreational athlete or a pro, no strategy
can begin without a good understanding of
lifestyle and time constraints. What are
your lifestyle and eating habits? Is Sunday
a family day? What recovery strategy is in
place. “There’s more than just putting in
time on a bike or training hard,”
McCulloch says.
Create a plan, follow it — Better yet,
have someone help you design a plan.
McCulloch is happy to oblige with the
design, but the key is to set up an
achievable, sustainable program that fits
into your everyday life.
Part of the job is making sure people
have appropriate rest. People can just train,
train, train and go hard all the time. But it’s
really important to learn how to rest,
recover and to take care of other aspects
(nutrition, program planning) besides just
putting time in on the bike or in the pool.
too busy? — The first step is knowing
that you probably have to go day by day.
For instance knowing, “oK today is
Wednesday, and I have an hour and a half
window to exercise.” Moms, especially, are
really good at organizing their time. They
are very streamlined; all their activities are
pretty specific, so why not do that with
your exercise as well?
That’s why going to the gym, a spin class
or a group exercise class where it is all
outlined for you is useful. Someone is
going to walk you through a very specific
workout, then you don’t have to think
about it.
Add focus — Like a gym class, every
ride or activity in a training plan should be
very purposeful and specific so you don’t
waste time. Working busy people —
doctors, teachers, nurses, folks with kids
EVERY DAY
Takeaways pro riders are light, strong and lean. Can the pro approach help a weekend athlete or someone just seeking better fitness? We sought insight from two women who balance the demands of racing with running their own cycling-related careers.

and a family to attend to — have to get a lot
of bang for the buck in a one-hour workout.
With a very specific workout, you’ll get results
a lot faster than by just clipping into the bike and
just going for a ride. Instead, for instance, ride for
an hour doing hill repeats — riding really hard for
5 minutes and then recovering for 5 minutes. That’s
going to yield faster physiological improvement.
Basically have a plan before you go exercise.
Intensity and volume, not the same — When
athletes put in “volume,” exertion at a level where
a conversation might be sustainable during the effort
For any athlete in any sport, strength and fitness are not the same as skill and knowledge.

JESS CERRA || Nutrition and Diet Strategy
Question: Where does a recreational athlete
or person just looking to get fitter, stronger and
leaner start when it comes to nutrition?
Answer: Professional athletes look at nutrition
in a similar way as training. We have a plan, we
practice the plan, and it takes discipline. For a
recreational athlete, you need to determine how
dedicated you are and define your goals. Eating
for performance and body-type, shouldn’t just be
about a number on a scale, it should be geared
toward reaching optimal strength and power. The
key is to adjust how you look at food.
Q: Are there any simple takeaways people can
learn from the style of eating and food science
used by cycling teams and professional athletes?
A: Professional athletes have a plan and rarely
deviate from it around important training or
events. But don’t think there is a secret mystery
to what the pros are eating.
The food is simple and “clean” — lean red
meat, chicken and fish. Grains like pasta and
rice. Healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, and
flax seeds. Breakfast items like oatmeal, Greek
yogurt, dried fruit and nuts. You’re probably
thinking, “That’s it? I already know those foods
are healthy!” The hardest part is the discipline.
Q: You’ve been creating meals for pro athletes
and training camps for the past few years, what’s
your favorite food find?
A: One of the simplest, yet most delicious ways
to prepare veggies is on the grill. Toss any veggie
with a little grapeseed or olive oil, some salt and
pepper and it will be transformed. I often grill
veggies that you wouldn’t typically think to grill
like broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, carrots and
avocado. I couldn’t cook without fresh herbs and
citrus. Do yourself a favor and buy a microplane
(fine grating tool). I use this to grate orange,
lemon and lime zest into salad dressings, sauces
and pilafs. The fresh citrus flavor really brightens
up the dish. Herbs like mint and cilantro are
another favorite.

Citrus Grilled Salmon with Quinoa and Vegetable Salad
This recipe from Jess Cerra is about as nutrient packed as they come. Salmon has protein and Omega 3s, while Quinoa packs essential amino acids, calcium and iron. The veggies and greens are full of vitamins and minerals. The citrus complements the salmon and tenderizes it, so once grilled it melts in your mouth.
IngredientsSalmon1½ pounds salmon, skin on2 oranges2 lemons1 teaspoon olive oil½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon pepper
Quinoa1 cup multi-colored quinoa ½ small red onion, finely diced1 cup asparagus, chopped½ zucchini, finely diced½ yellow squash, finely diced1 large carrot, finely diced½ cup frozen sweet peas, thawed2 cups leafy greens: arugula,
spinach or rainbow chard1 tablespoon freshly chopped
cilantro1 tablespoon olive oilJuice and zest of one lemonJuice and zest of one orange½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon pepper
Note: Regular quinoa works fine or it’s OK to mix regular quinoa and red quinoa.
DirectionsSalmon
Heat grill to medium-high. Cut salmon into 4 equal segments. Slice the orange and lemon. Tear a large piece of foil that will accommodate all of the salmon. Place the lemon slices on the foil. Then place the salmon on top of the lemon.
Drizzle and rub the olive oil, salt and pepper onto the salmon segments. Place orange slices
over the top of each segment.Wrap salmon and citrus up
tightly in the foil and grill for 8-10 minutes per side. Don’t overcook the salmon. Remove from the grill when it’s just underdone inside; the heat locked in the foil will finish cooking it through.
QuinoaThe trick to quinoa is not to over
cook it into mush. The nutty flavor comes out the most when it still has a bite to it. Add 1½ cups water to a small pot with the quinoa. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for 8 minutes, then add asparagus and sauté an additional 2-3 minutes.
Defrost the peas for about 1 minute, in a bowl, in the microwave.
In a large bowl, whisk together the other ½ tablespoon of olive oil with the lemon and orange juice and zest, cilantro, salt and pepper. Add the onion and asparagus, peas, and all the other veggies to the bowl and toss with the dressing.
Add the quinoa to the veggie mixture and combine thoroughly. This salad can be served warm or cold.

(moderately paced riding), they are
building cardiovascular endurance, an
important component of overall fitness.
Intensity, high-effort training in shorter
bursts, also is key, but you need a strong
cardiovascular system and the musculature
to back it up. The stronger I am cardio-
vascularly, that’s going to allow me to focus
on building muscle strength for higher-end
efforts. But I don’t want to increase volume
and intensity at the same time because
that’s too much. There’s a time and place
for both.
Skill and practice — For cyclists, in
fact any athlete in any sport, strength
and fitness are not the same as skill and
knowledge. A fit person isn’t necessarily
a good rider.
Going back to my teaching history, I want
people to have the mechanics and the skill
associated with riding because I don’t care
if you are a strong horse or a strong pony,
you need to actually be able to ride your
bicycle — this isn’t a solo sport. There’s
a lot of efficiency and confidence — it’s
a safety issue. (McCulloch works with riders
doing slow motion turns, sprints, bumping
and bunny-hopping to build skills.)
Join groups, consider events —
Another strategy for getting better and
stronger is through group events and rides.
Every time you ride with athletes who are
better than you, you’ll start to improve.
You learn by osmosis. In addition to clubs,
bicycle shops often support or sponsor
rides. Look to train to be strong and safe.
Many groups welcome novices and
are eager to share information, after all
as a rider gains skill, the ride is safer for
everyone. Just understand there is a lot of
value to riding easy and working on your
skills, and learning to make good decisions.

Q: If I’m always racing out the door and
I’ve got 15 minutes to grab some food, what
do you recommend I keep in my pantry?
A: Think food groups: proteins —
grilled or rotisserie, smoked salmon, roast
beef, hard-boiled eggs, Greek yogurt;
grains/legumes — brown/white rice,
quinoa, whole-wheat wraps, whole grain
bread, oatmeal, canned beans or lentils,
hummus; fruits and veggies — as much
fresh as possible; fats — nut butters (with
no added sugar) and nuts, avocado, salad
dressing made with olive oil.
Take advantage of prepared foods. If
the product is frozen, chances are it’s been
flash frozen to lock in as much nutrition
as possible. Load up on brown rice and
quinoa that’s pre-cooked. Spend the money
on veggies and fruit that are prepped. Grill
up a bunch of chicken breasts once a week
or get a rotisserie chicken.
Q: We all live with partners and often
children who don’t share our goals or
tastes. What’s a good strategy to get
everyone into a healthier nutritional place?
A: The important part is to make
changes as a family, letting everyone
contribute and make choices. Let everyone
pick out a vegetable or two at a market and
then prepare it in a recipe. If you have kids
who are picky eaters, try fun things like pot
pies or pizzas, but have a variety of veggies
cut up so they have to pick three veggies to
put in the dish. Introduce new foods in
small phases which are less intimidating.
Q: Is it possible to build muscle and lose
fat at the same time?
A: One of my favorite sayings is “lose
weight at night, not on the bike.” I see
athletes try to accomplish fat loss on the
bike all the time. You will be digging
yourself a big hole if you try to starve
yourself while training. If you are finishing
each ride totally depleted and proud of all
the calories you’ve burned, all you’ve really
accomplished is the best way to recover
poorly, to slow your metabolism down, and
to set yourself up for a food binge later on.
The grazing hours after lunch and dinner
are times to avoid overeating. There is a
fine line to building muscle and losing fat,
without zapping energy. In general, for
overall fat loss I recommend the age-old
approach of cutting down on the portions.

Redlands enjoys a rich
and diverse community of
cycling which comes together
every year to support the
Redlands Bicycle Classic.
each of the local bicycle clubs
contributes to the event continuing a long
heritage of volunteerism and community
activities. Today, the majority of the RBC’s
organizing committee is comprised of
members of local cycling organizations.
The Classic and Team Redlands actually
started together; their history is
intertwined. Usa Cycling requires that
a race must be affiliated with a team,
and each team must put on a race.
as the race grew, so did the local clubs.
The Redlands Water Bottle Transit
Company, formed in 1987, offered a place
for cyclists of all levels, not just racers. and
shortly after, the club that would become
Citrus Valley Velo formed with affiliations
to pro team 7-Up in the mid ’90s.
Today more than 1,000 cyclists are
involved in these local organizations
making for a vibrant and active cycling
scene that is still growing.
new organizations, like the Inland
empire Biking alliance and Ride Yourself
Fit, promote cycling and serve new riders.
Whether it is safer roads, better trails,
or safety for kids, the IeBa sees cycling
as a growing activity for all types of riders
in town.
“Redlands is entering the next phase
of the cycling explosion as using a bike for
active transportation is playing a larger
role,” says Mark Friis, IeBa executive
director.
Ride Yourself Fit was founded in 2007
by dr. steven Wilson to encourage his
patients to be active. The group’s “fun,
fitness, and fellowship” philosophy plays
out in lively meetings before biweekly
saturday rides.
“Whether you are racing or just starting
to ride, everyone benefits from the
encouragement of the group — that is what
really makes a big difference at every level,”
Wilson says.
The newest addition, RICO, the
Redlands Interscholastic Cycling
Organization, serves young athletes racing
mountain bikes in a growing high school
team sport.
For its part, the City of Redlands has
enthusiastically embraced the cycling
community and works to make streets safer
for everyone. In addition to the many miles
of newly painted bike lanes around town,
the city is a true partner in the Classic,
providing police and fire support, as well
as maintenance crews to repair street
surfaces before the race.
The Redlands Bicycle Classic is proof
that when an entire community works
together to create a world-class event, the
benefits stretch across all those who throw
a leg over a bike.
as past RBC president dan Rendler says,
“The Redlands Classic is far more than a
bike race. It is a foundational community
event, one that brings together a diverse
group of cyclists to promote a healthy
lifestyle, celebrates diversity and being
good stewards of our environment.”
and Redlands, by the way, is a great
place to ride your bike.

“My two bum knees had me in a real jam. Thanks to SJI, life is sweet again.”
– Mr. Royce N.
O nly two things stopped Royce Newman from picking fresh fruit to make his own brand of jams and jelly–his knees. “Both knees were deteriorating and I knew I had to replace them. I heard about SJI, learned about their results
and reputation, and concluded they’re the only knee specialists to pick.”Royce discovered that Redlands Community Hospital’s Spine & Joint Institute ranks in the top 5% in Orthopedic
Services for knee and hip replacements, and spine procedures.* You receive the best possible experience and results because each step of the program is choreographed for high quality outcomes and patient satisfaction.
“Everyone and everything they do is very positive,” Royce says. “Their skill got my knees out of a real jam so I could go back to making some.”
