Against my better judgement, I waited until 4:00 this afternoon to ride with some good friends in Eatonton, about a 25 mile drive from here. We picked one of the hottest days yet to ride. It was over 100F for most of the ride. We had a fairly fast start, probably too fast. I also think I underdosed on the electrolytes. I hit a wall at about 26 miles into our 40 mile ride. Not a true bonk, but I had no drive for the hills after that and I fell way off the back of a group that I can usually hang with fairly easily. But it was still a good ride and I felt fine after some cold water, some chocolate milk and a coke before driving home. Once home I had some leftover Thai food and a couple of Left Hand Polestar Pilsners that truly hit the spot.
