My ride today couldn't have been better. Longer, maybe, but it was a teriffic ride! I'm working toward my first metric century; my last attempt was 60km and awful...nothing went well. Today, same route, same bike, and it was a delightful 72km jaunt thru the countryside. I obviously nailed the setup today; the bike was perfect....felt like it was a part of me (last time it felt like 100 pounds of lead pipe), I had tons of energy so I must have got the food thing right, and the only thing that stopped me at 72km was I had to be home for another commitment. I'm sure I had at least another 10-20km in me today, and I could possibly have done the entire 100.
Ah well..next time maybe. Tomorrow will be a gentle recovery ride and maybe a swim in the lake...weather is supposed to be hot!
