100-mile Road Bike
- part of the Wooman Bike Tour
- my phone died about mile 75 so I don't have any average/max speed information.
Legs and lungs felt great the whole ride. Never was I in danger of cramping or out of breath at the top of the climbs. I did run out of energy the last 20 miles, I should have stopped at the last aid station to refill water bottles and eat a banana. I'm looking into drink mixes for the longer than 2 hour endurance events; sounds like Hammer Nutrition's Perpetuem and/or Sustained Energy products are in my future.
My butt did get sore from staying in the saddle, but it had been just over a month since I was on the bike. I do need to do a better job about getting out on the bike and not just riding the recumbent indoors. Once the winter arrives I will set-up my road bike on the indoor trainer here at the gym.
All in all, I'm very happy with my continued progress and this is just another step.
