Unless that bowl of breakfast cereal was huge ... and unless that burrito was massive ... I'm thinking you didn't eat nearly enough.
Yes, you also had OJ, Gatorade, and a Coke ... but they're all pretty swift acting sugars without much substance.
That comment really hit home. I should have has an Egg McMuffin and large Mc-OJ instead of the McCoffee on the ride in. That would have had me a little better fueled for the hard ride.
I do appreciate the advice. I will definitely eat better before the Lake Nockamixon century and the MS City to Shore (175 miles) later this year. Thanks for the good advice.
Ride Safe,
