I appreciate everyone’s comments
1) I drink the G2 for the electrolytes and because I like the taste ( grape). I tried a few recommendations of water with various
Powders but did not find the taste pleasant
2) like many...I love naps. Maybe 45 minutes...not every day as a routine. What I was describing was 2-3 hr conked out nap after the
ride
3) after readings some of the comments, it seems many my age and older are riding much longer distances! I have to get better
4) I did not mention that I am in Florida and many of the rides are in humid hot weather (100-106 heat index) but I did not think
Dehydration was an issue because many times I had to pee as soon as I finished the ride ( in part due to my enlarged prostate)
so I figured my hydration was ok.
5) I will follow some of the ideas with more carbs and protein during and after the ride, Bought some protein smoothies for after the
ride. Will also drink more fluids after I am done riding
Thanks for all the comments and I will tell my wife that the members of the forum feel that a new bike would make a big difference
And solve the problem😀😀
