A hilly 60 this morning, which turned out to be slightly ill-advised since I did a fast and hilly 24 last night. I don't think I gave enough time for my leg muscles to replenish their glycogen levels, and the last ten miles (uphill) today were tough.

Lesson learned: Don't eat a light dinner, and then complete one hard 24 mile ride at 10:00pm, eat a PB&J sandwich and go to bed, getting up at 6:30am to a bowl of cereal, and then set out on a hilly 60 miler with a cliff bar, banana, gatorade, and gummy fruit. Just not enough time and food to carry me through the final 10 miles comfortably. This coming weekend I'll eat a little more, and back off the Friday night ride to, say, 15 slower miles.
