Wow, thank you all so much for taking the time to help me with such long and helpful posts, I really appreciate it.

I have a mental image of your DH sitting in the cooler of ice Jiffer!

It's 48 hours later and I am starting to think about riding again. I think I'll do my favorite ride, 10 miles to our favorite coffee shop and 10 miles home.

Thanks for the detail nutrition advice, very helpful.

I am going to look at the book suggestion, I don't know much about my bike. My DH does it all but I need to learn. I have a Lemond Etape and I really like it.
