I ate a banana before starting a hot and kind of hilly 42 mile ride. I had one Shot Block during the ride and 2 bottles of Skratch, lots of water, too.
L: During the ride I had the almond butter and blueberry jam on a whole wheat bagel I had packed.
S: Had a Lara bar after the ride
D: here's the bad part. DH got pizza and I ate 4 slices, with a beer when I got home. I was just ravenous, which means I didn't eat enough during and right after the ride. My stomach was not happy this morning.
