Morning everyone! Happy Saturday!
I turned in 34.1 miles on the bike today at a 15.6mph pace. I took a cyclist's/friend's advice and had some wheat toast with peanutbutter before I headed out. It was yummy and I feel like it helped. During the ride, I had a bottle of Gatorade, but I would have preferred Accelerade. After the ride, I'm having a protein shake with glutamine & have taken some amino acids. I don't know what carb I'll have yet -- but I'll have something.
Anyhoo, according to bicycle magazine, I burned approximately 1,200 calories! Good Lord. I know they're just estimates, but do you guys think the calculators are somewhat close to how many calories are actually burned cycling?
I have developed quite a golfer's/cyclist's tan while I've been on vacation and am planning on wearing halters and strapless dresses on a trip to Las Vegas on July 20th. Today, I'm going to the pool to try to even out the scary tan.
Ya'll have a wonderful day!
