I then rode 7 miles to a group ride that was fast and humid, kind of hot, too. I drank 1.5 bottles of Accelerade Light, ate a Lara Bar, and one Shot Block. Poured about half the other bottle over my head and down my jersey, and drank the rest. The ride was 39 miles. Got back to the start, at a member's home and had lunch:
one chicken thigh, salad with vinaigrette, about a half a cup of rice/beans, lots of lemondade/
Then I had to ride home. With a backpack, as I had brough fresh shorts and my hair brush, hygiene supplies for the lunch/ride home. Another hot 7 miles. Total of 52.3 miles
S: had a 6 inch whole wheat pita and hummus, lots of wter
D: I blew it... went out and had an individual pear/gorgonzola pizza and a green salad. The crust was thin, but i did not have to eat the whole thing. But, I was starving.

D: Bora Bora Meatballs and probably some sauteed veggies. Planning on also making cumin-roasted carrots but that might happen after dinner for the work week.

The meatball recipe is great, but the name is most appropriate "Bora Bora Fireballs", I cut the cayenne pepper way back but it is still quite spicy. Very good mix with the pineapple in the recipe!

Well, yesterday was a big eating day for the metric, which had about 3,200 ft. of climbing. I can deal with it.
B: whole wheat bagel, light cream cheese and lox, with 2 scrambled eggs and one cup of coffee.
During the ride I had about 2 bottles of Accelerade and half a bottle of water, 2 Lara Bars, and 2 Shot Blocks.
Lunch was part of the after ride festivities, and I did not want the vegetarian option! I had a pulled pork sandwich, cole slaw AND a small piece of corn bread. Also 2 beers were free with the lunch, and I had 1.5, compliments of the Sam Adams Brewery.
D: went out for a really good Italian dinner at a restaurant in the town I used to teach in. I ate a whole plate of parpadelle, tomatoes, and ricotta and had 2 glasses of wine.
Back on track today, but still pretty hungry .
