Yeeesh. Eh? How much glycogen do
you have? Or maybe you're just used to doing short rides. LD riders need to never run out of it. Meaning they hate using it at all, if they can help it, because it's slow putting it back. There's a delicious meal known as "fried rabbit," that we frequently partake of.
You're just being negative to be nasty. You should get out more. I know you're smarter than that.
