Did a 50 miler yesterday, longest ride yet since coming back off of the ankle injury. Really wanted to do 60, but I overslept and didn't leave till 7:30. The South Florida heat was to much for me to continue. By the time I hit the turn around point for the 50 miles I was almost done with both water bottles, and I had about 10 miles until I got to a place to refill. So I turned around, stopped at 7-11 on the way home, got some gatorade and mixed it with 50% water in both water bottles. Good ride overall, felt like I could of done the 60 leg wise, just not heat wise. Every time I got stopped at a light, or the time I got stopped at a draw bridge, the intensity of the heat really hit me! Averaged 18mph before cool down, 17.7 with cool down, pretty happy!
