A racing teammate and buddy kept me company up and down the coast for a while after.
I am trying to eat more on the bike, so I had two bottles with mix, a cliff bar, two large chocolate chunk cookies, a nature valley wafer bar, a bobo PB&J bar, and a costco nut bar. Felt pretty good through and through. I did not have a Whopper or ice cream so maybe I could have felt even better? IDK.
Nice ride, and glad you got out.
I must be too acclimated to eat that much. I stopped at 70 miles and bought a couple Gatorades, drank what was remaining in my bottles to make room, and finished off what was left of the Gatorades that didn't fill the bottles. A Fraiche Banana Bread and some Veloforte Chews. It just didn't sit right, and I had the sweats and just not feeling right. It took me thirty miles to get back at it. Just in time for thirty miles of headwind.
