2. Ketamine. Cycling is pain, fear, and anguish, peppered with the occasional burst of exhilaration and euphoria (which by the way, make the misery totally worth it). In elite professional cyclists, I see little difference in the physical capabilities of these athletes. Where cyclists crack is usually on the mental side: “I can’t do this. This mountain is too steep. It’s too long. There’s no way I can maintain this speed. I’m going to have to drop back.” Their bodies have not failed them, their willpower has. Ketamine, in low doses of say, 40-60mg, would provide significant pain relief, anxiolysis, and a lessening of the “negative chatter” that is constantly trying to take over when you’re on a particularly difficult section of a long climb.
