Sounds to me as though the latte and cookie could have caused you to crash. When you eat sugary foods it is usually a good idea to either start working out immediately thereafter or wait a couple of hours for the food to digest before heading out. Or eat foods naturally high in fructose that will give you a steady supply of energy without a "whiplash" effect.[/QUOTE]

If I have to wait a couple of hours after sugary foods before I ride, I might as well hang up my bike now!

But, no, it's good advice - I just wasn't thinking about it. Thanks, Alphie!

Today's morning ride was nice - bright, sunny, warmish; headwind, but not too bad. Everything was sunny and beautiful when I entered my building for work, but by the time I made it up to the 16th floor Lake Michigan had turned into Lake Mordor. The wind will be with me on the way home tonight, and the padded tights I ordered showed up today, so I'm going to enjoy the hell out of the evening ride in about an hour.
