First Group Ride

[Catrin]

I'm 5'10".

I went out with my son today on my WSD 29er through some back gravel roads and sure enough, come 5 miles I'm done. Son asked what I had for breakfast and I told him two bowls of cereal.

He's as confused as I am. He's wondering if my bikes are too big as well. I had a professional fit done for my Madone and the guy said it was fine.

Does my weight (215) make a difference?

I do love riding. I just thought I'd be a lot further by now.

What are you eating with the cereal, any protein? I wonder if your blood sugar is spiking with the cereal and then crashing. How long do you eat before riding?

I am wondering how hydrated you are. How much do you normally drink? Are you a big sweat-er? Do you put anything (like electrolytes) in your water? The electrolytes seem to have a bigger impact on me than eating.
