hi ladies, i went on my second ride this week, 20 miles last night and i did it in the same amount of time as my first road ride on monday. my avg hr and max hr went down - not sure if that means anything or not - but i cramped at the end and couldn't put my put down on the ground!

i had one full bottle of water mixed with G2 but i don't think that was enough. i plan to get another cage for another bottle but i can't imagine how i'll take water for a longer ride. someone mentioned a camel pack and i may look into that. thankfully i listened and had a Gu before i left and one about half way into it. i would have run out of gas! you ladies rock - i'll be spending wayyy more time here to learn from you guys. thanks again.
