I went out for a flat, tooling around ride. Ran out of water, so when I stopped to get some, I got some Bolt chews too, since I now have to learn my way around the electrolyte game. They did me good.

The plan was to attempt a ride tonight, despite mega heat warnings, etc... but now it looks like I'll be stuck in the office all evening. Dangit.

Really.
I don't have data but it sure seems like I have to push harder since I put a Gatorskin tyre on one of my wheels. And I didn't think it would make a noticeable difference.

I did not ride today but I did some yard work. I will ride tomorrow with sore muscles only used when crouching. I will need to meditate on rule #5.

Snuck in a ride, but light rain most of the time. This was my first time wearing a cycling cap under my helmet in the rain, too - does a heck of a job of keeping rain out of the eyes.
