One of which had MORE electrolytes in it. I downed both of those during the ride too.

I hope you are feeling better today. Better take it easy over the next couple of days.
Thank you, it is good to know though am sorry to hear about her. I suspect my normal pre-ride dinner might be a little heavy for high temps - but a chicken sandwich is perfect most of the time. I HAVE to fuel pre-ride, it keeps my blood sugar stable and if it isn't too light I don't feel a need to eat everything in reach afterwards...

I felt fine once I cooled off a bit, and feel fine today. No riding today, there isn't time and two days in a row in this heat would just be too much. I think I WILL go for a very early ride tomorrow, head out right after daylight...

Looks like Monday will be sweet though, for any kind of riding, BCSP here I come
