20 miles Friday evening. It was supposed to be a slowpoke recovery ride, under 12 mph. First half was over 14 mph so I slowed way down for the return trip. Drank plenty, slowed myself down when I felt myself pushing instead of spinning easily.

I overdid it Wednesday, forgot I'd taken a diuretic the night before when I noticed my cankles were too cankly, then didn't drink enough during the ride. It was that misleading weather -- cool, overcast -- and I wasn't as thirsty as usual. Didn't realize until I got home from a fairly fast (for me) 32 mile ride that I'd drunk only half of a 24 oz bottle. Not good. Muscle spasms, nausea, tingly lips, etc. -- all the side effects from taking a diuretic and getting dehydrated. First time in 30 years I'd pulled such a dumb stunt.
