All of this time in the saddle along gets to you.
On Sunday I had another four hour ride starting at 6 0'clock in the morning. The brids were out: pheasants, jays and woodpeckers. The lambs were frollicking in the fields, I saw some deer and what the hell's that? A white rabbit crossing the road!
At least it wasn't six foot tall ( and called Harvey).
What a great ride; 3 hours 55 and 109km including a few hills average heart rate 119.
I have found a magic formula for food.
On the bike:
1ltr of water and 0.5lt of power drink ( High 5)
In pockets:
1 banana
1 peanut butter sandwich
1 handful of raisins
After 0.5hrs -- start drinking water, then continue as you see fit
1hr eat banana
2hrs eat peanut butter sandwich
2.5 -3hrs start on the power drink
3-3.5hr raisins and last of the water
