Yesterday was a highlight in a strange way. Went out on a club B ride. It was a 36 mi. course with about 2000 ft of climbing. I woke up at 1 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. I really didn't want to ride. I was pretty tired. But, I went. At about mile 25 we had climbed about 1400 ft. and stopped at the town hall in my town. At that point I had spent my time off the back of the main group on climbs by about 200 ft. There were two other riders with me. Didn't feel bad but had little power. At the town hall I was averaging 14.2 mph. As I said a lot of climbing. After the break we started to head for mostly level and downhill part of the ride. But, I could feel that I had no energy so I abandoned and just rode home adding a very slow 3 miles to my ride. Got home around noon and went to bed. Woke up at 4 PM. Given the circumstances I think I did well enough. Also made the right decision.
