No, he was not on today's ride. It was warm; 87 @ 5:45, and must have been 98-100 9:30 - 10:00 when we finished. It was a 51 mile ride, and I rode from my house to the start. We had a mix of A and B riders, so there was a group that pushed it a bit harder (I was not part of that group). I have to confess I bonked at the end; I could feel myself losing energy with about 7 miles to go. With one block to go (to the bagel shop after the ride) I felt light headed and had to sit on the sidewalk. A friend from the club put me and my bike in his truck, and then took me home after the bagel.

I should have ate the Hammer gel pack at our last stop 10-12 miles from the end. I wont make that mistake again.
