Garmin Connect Ride Data

Group: We had about 7 guys and Diane, who ain't scared to ride with a bunch of guys. For the most part the group stayed together. At the end me, Diane and Rod came in under a more subtle pace.

Route Description: Rolling hills and flat sections with one fairly short taxing 20% climb that was about like Burhalter Gap Road that we hit just before mile 20. Very nice route with great variety of gradients and fairly low traffic.

Nutrition Intake During the Course: (2)Hammer gels, (2)24oz. bottles with Hammer Heed/10grams Glutamine/3grams BCAA's , (1 1/2) 24oz. bottle refills with plain water at the store stops, (1/2)Cliff Bar, (4)Endurolytes, (1)Post Ride 30gram whey protein drink

Weather: Sunny - 70's at the start and 85 at the finish. Cooler for August

Training Goal: My goal today was to hang with the group and follow whatever pace was set. It was an enjoyable ride and a break from the last couple of weeks of staying within a certain lower power zone and being off the back of the group. Today I was right in the mix of being in the front and at the back. A couple of times I "stretched the legs" as Rick would say just to see if my legs were up to any speed work. At the end of the ride I tried a couple small sprint practice runs out of curiosity. The sprint practice went as expected after 54 mile of a group ride. My shoe cleats had a little too much wear on them to put that kind of torque on the pedals.
