Ooops, also wanted to say thanks to you for what to do after the ride...I am convinced in taking those anti - oxidants! Someone today suggested I get L-glutamine powder and put that in a protein shake to help muscle recovery/soreness. I found it from Nutrion Express, but I'm sure GNC would have it, too.
Thought I'd pass that along to whoever might find it useful.
That's it from me for now!
