May 1, 2010,
You don't really expect a day like today on May 1st. But we got one. It was beautiful and when I got on my bike at 8:00 am this morning the temperature was already in the mid 60s with predicted high of mid 80s. Really did not have the proper dinner last night when Rene and I went out with friends to have appetizers at the bar. I also had a beer. Starting today I am really watching my diet. No more alcohol and very little soda. I have to watch out that I don't dehydrated. After today's ride I am on the borderline.
I headed north thru Holmdel and then west thru Freehold to Clarksburg where I turned around and headed east to wind up in Masaquan where I then headed north to home. Wind was not a factor today. It was all about the heat. Good practice for July. Because of last night's dinner, I got up early and had a good breakfast. I can't drink milk so I had dry rice kripsy, banana and whole wheat english muffin with jelly.For my ride I brought jels and chomps with me. I had to stop and buy two more bottles of water and finished them all.
The problem I had was that for the first time on the bike I cramped in all my muscles in my right leg with about 15 miles to go. Bad! I stopped had more water and took a gel back. Rode the rest of the water easily, ver conscious of the cramping. Made it home and had a replacement drink, pasta, a bagel and more water. After I snacked on apricots and almonds. Almost time for dinner and I am hungry again. Still drinking water.
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 75
Total Distance: 85 miles
Total Time: 5 hours and 57 minutes (this time includes time I stop to go to the
bathroom and get m gels) Actual bike time was 5:37)
