The Group: Derek, Mike and me


The Ride: We thought we would have a few more riders joining us today, but it was just the three of us as Derek led us out again on a very pleasant route to Adairsville and Kingston. The route had a mixture of flat fun sections, rollers and a short climb on Boyd Mountain Road. On the fun sections we each did our turn in the front for the pulls and on the climbs we were more at conversation pace. It was a really nice day out on the bike. I would not mind doing this everyday, but I suppose going back to work tomorrow will just have me anticipating next weekend's ride even more.

 The Weather: Started with dark cloudy skies, air was calm, high humidity, later in the ride the sun came out some and heated up things, rain did not hit until the drive home.


Nutrition Intake During and after the Course: (2) 24 oz. bottle of water with glutamine, BCAA's, maltodextrin and Hammer Heed, (1) fruit bar, (2) Hammer gel, 32 oz. bottle of Powerade
