You know, I had a raspberry hammer gel in my back pocket that I never got around to eating. The ride was only supposed to be 30-35 but turned out 42 (some missed turns ). I thought of eating it multiple times, but didn't. If I had, I probably would have felt better during the last six!

Still, I had a combined 1000 calories before and just after the ride. I guess I just need to feel out the ride nutrition thing!
