Before any more assumption are made about my ride, a percentage of the ride was with a group of riders in a paceline. I do draft when I see an opportunity up ahead.

The main point was that I was trying to make was that I drank alot less than I thought I would during a hard long ride. I lost almost 5 lbs yesterday and wondering how bad that is.

I haven't yet acquired the taste of the Lemon Lime Accelorade yet, perhaps the orange flavor will more tolerable.
