Flybye, glad to hear that you did your recovery drink - that is very important when you ride the porch swing Sounds delightful!

I had a fantastic ride today - did 40.5 miles (my longest yet). Saw some quite unusual creatures for this part of the world and will post them in the adventure forum (what wildlife do you see on your rides) shortly.

Temps were a balmy 82 degrees, lots and lots of sunshine, lots of cyclists in the first part of my ride and - even better - my SI Diva Gel Flow saddle that I am testing worked just fine Earlier in the week I was worried that it wasn't for me - but apparently I just had to get used to it - and a little spot of lube in a very specific place seemed to help. Actually, as good as everything felt am unsure it was actually needed...

I paid more attention to nutrition today, paced myself, and finished feeling much stronger and better than the 34 miles I did last Saturday. I guess I need more on the bike than I wanted to accept - but there you go. AND my blood sugar stayed stable
