Whew. It sounds like my discomfort is just becuase I increased the milage so much. I was riding with my hubby who is stronger and faster than me so I was pushing harder than normal in addition to increasing my distance. I'm actually suprised my quads aren't sore today.

I drank 1 24oz bottle of water and about 1/2 the other bottle. I had 5 honey zigers and 1/2 a cliff bar. I probably should switch one of those bottles to an electrolyte mix and add a camelbak and double my food intake. I'm wondering if some of the knee and ankle soreness is from dehydration. Those are the first place I feel dehydration usually.

Overall the ride was a lot of fun. I can't wait to go back and ride again in a few weeks.
