40 Miles & All's Well!


Last week's ride ended with a bingefest of eating to reimburse my body for the calories I had stolen that day (lunch, 3 muffins, a whole row of Fig Newtons in the Walmart checkout lane, and then a hearty dinner with 2 dessert helpings).

Being a runner, I am not used to eating a big breakfast or snacking heavily along the route. Apparently, that's a "no no' in the biking world! So, I took the plunge and ate a good breakfast before my ride and stocked up on snacks along the way. What a difference! I had so much more energy and finished the 40mi ride (my longest to date) with energy to spare!

Bottom line: Biking more means eating more... this could be a bad combo :)
