I often eat before I ride. But anything 25 miles or less... I sometimes ride before breakfast.

I drink water or tea about every four miles while cycling. Sometimes a sip... sometimes a couple big gulps. My thirst seems to figure out the volume requirement.

If I am still riding at two... I'll likely stop and eat. Maybe a burger, burrito, or a banana. Otherwise I keep my cash I my ziploc bag.

I stretch (and yawn) every morning.... then I sit-up and get out of bed. The CDC recommends weight training. So I lift weights and do calisthenics.

I like to stop at a favorite coffee shop when I am close to returning home. I like coffee.
