Hey Tyler,
I'm 19, 6'1, 195 lbs. and this is what works for me, I apologize for the length:
Breakfast: lots of eggs, whole grain cereal (pick your favorite), pancakes or French toast, meat (sausage or bacon), Banana, water, fruit juice, and whole milk.
Lunch: Plain Pizza, More cereal, another piece of fruit, water, fruit juice, whole milk.
Dinner: Meat(chicken or steak), more pizza, pasta, more cereal, more fruit, water, fruit juice, whole milk, all fruit smoothie.
This is the most beneficial selection of food that the dining halls of Rutgers provides, and while monotonous, it does me well. I vary quantity of the carbs I mentioned (cereal, pizza, pasta, etc.) based on how much I have ridden/plan to ride that day. For a snack/energy, I usually have a dark chocolate bar and more milk. Obviously before a ride I load up on water. I don't consume any Soda, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Tobacco, drugs, alcohol, or caffeine(aside from the small levels in chocolate).
My riding schedule consists of this. all road riding is done on my mountain bike with 2.0 Kevlar tires at 70 psi, so rolling resistance is at a minimum. Road miles are broken up between classes, and at a moderate to vigorous( if I'm running late
) pace, as well.
Sunday: 3 miles road, 20 min weight training.
Monday: 9 miles road, 2 hrs. trail
Tuesday: 1.5 hrs. Trail, 7 miles road
Wednesday: 3 miles road, 20 min weight training.
Thursday: 12 miles road
Friday: 3 miles road
Saturday: none, 20 min weight training.
I haven't been riding for that long(3 months), but I can see the progress and I'm still improving quickly. Haven't raced so don't know where I would hold up to anybody else, but hopefully with a winter of training I'll be ready for some H2H events, which I remember you showing interest in as well. This is what works for me, and I hope you can take some things and put them to use. As was said, lock your bike up to anything that doesn't move and you'll be set. Maybe you could even throw it in a friend's car or store it in the Gym or something. We'll have to get together and ride the Rutgers EP again soon and you need to show me around chimney rock.
