No ride Saturday, 37 miles today. The group I ride with usually rides out early. I was up by 4:30 a.m., and ready to go out 5:00. Went to the door to take out the bike and discovered it was raining, followed a few minutes later by thunder and lightening, which lasted until almost until 10:30. We finally rode at 11:00 a.m. Sunny, hot and very humid. Really took it out of me. I thought I took in plenty of fluids both on the ride and when I got home, but I am still feeling thirsty. However, since I am also feeling "sloshy" I am trying to be careful what and how fast I am replenishing.
