Perfect Ride

No post yesterday as I was in Canada, didn't feel like dragging exercise clothes just for an hour's walk, and got home at (:30 and didn't feel like swimming when I knew I had to get up at 5:30 and ride 50 miles on Saturday.

Met John at 6:15 and the day was spectacular as there was NO WIND! None. We averaged 16.2 mph which is pretty much my top end average, and it was all due to drafting John. On my own the ride for me would have been around 14. On one 6 mile stretch he pulled at 20-23 the whole way. It was fabulous.I hydrated this time with 28 oz of gaterade and then switched to water. That worked.

When we finished I weighed 164.8 with 8.8 % body fat and 57.7 % water. The weight is up as traveling tends to bloat me, but it will come down this week.

Will probably do another ride of same distance tomorrow, albeit alone and slower.
