Ride Description:

Not many people on the path so that allowed me to sustain a bit more intensity and being that the 67 miles yesterday was not intense I was able to open up the engine a little more. Legs felt great and probably could have gone a little harder, but I want to train tomorrow so I backed off.

Hammer gel @ mile 15
Post Ride | I forgot to bring the 30 gram protein drink - ARGH!!!
