According to my schedule, I am supposed to rest or do alternate exercise on Monday and Thursday. But the weather was so nice outside and I wanted to see how I could ride after a 50 mile effort the day before. I went out and did an easy 20 miler. Felt good after the ride. Later in the day I felt my first discomfort since I started biking. Tenderness behind my left knee. I will ice it tonight and I believe it should be OK for tomorrow's ride.
I still have not gotten a set schedule for eating yet. After the 50 miler I am hungry all day. Ate the proper carbs a couple of hours after biking and soon after I am hungry again. Snacking on the proper food but it is amazing how you feel after burning 3000 calories on a ride. Imagine what I have to eat when I start doing 75 and 100 milers regularly. I have been reading about how to keep fueled up and I will figure it out.
