Pro-Bi s

[Jennifer Hixson Layman <jlayman@leland.Stanford.EDU>]

I was just wondering about the recommended doses of Pro-Bis during a ride
myself.  I started feeding small amounts of Fasttrack on a daily bases a
couple months ago, with a little extra on days of tougher conditioning
rides.  However,I have my first 50 of the season and was wondering how I
should dose during that.  Susan, what is your recommendation during a
competition?

I was given a dose by a friend when Kaboot had a B- on guts at a ride.
Gave it to him and he had an "A" next time.  Won some so at the next 100
I gave a dose at almost every check.  At 80 miles he showed signs of a
gassy colic and I pulled. Later I heard people say that if you don't give
them all the time it can make them gassy.

For the last 2 weeks I gave small doses about every other day of "Fast
Track".  Did a 55 this weekend, gave it the night before but none during
the ride.  He ate better than usual and had good gut sounds.  Don't know
that the name brand made any difference.  I think it was a mistake to
give a lot during competition when he wasn't used to them.
