I def. need to plan better, have something more hydrating than water, and a better food source.
I bring a protein bar if I am going longer than 30 miles, and as of now just been using water.
I don’t know how to describe it, but when I start to get tired, it not from my heart rate being too high or my muscles feel fatigued or hurting. I just over all feel zapped, and hungry. I’ve yet to feel like I have to stop I just run out of time.
Ive noticed to that it seems really hard for me to keep my heart rate up even when I am working hard. If I am cranking on a straight away my leg muscles usually tire out before I am out of breath. Not sure if this makes any sense.

Super windy for the ride today. Legs were a little fatigued from yesterday, but the wind direction was perfect for me to try to take sole possession of a KOM that I share. A minivan had other ideas.
Oh - language.

I like aluminum foil better. I've had too many sandwiches shake apart inside ziplocs in trunk bags or handlebar bags. Ziploc in a jersey pocket might be OK as long as the jersey's tight enough to keep the sandwich intact but not so tight you destroy the sandwich on the way in or out of the pocket

LOL. No signal, of course.
Why not place it where it happened?
In 1998, a historical marker for the Christiana Riot was placed in Lancaster.

The past few years I have done the 100 miler. Not sure about the whole virtual tour. They should have asked for my endorsement before making me their mascot.

Centuries are stupid. I did two back in my yootful days, after which I refused to continue being stupid.

Many years ago my image ended up on the front flap of ride brochure. It was sort of semi-transparent. I got the brochure and didn’t even notice. Someone finally clued me in. May have been the City-to-Shore. It was so long ago I cannot remember. I should have saved one.
I still have a copy of a story that ran in a county paper in Iowa. Our cross country group had split up for a few days. Some of us got invited to stay in a senior center in tiny Oxford Junction so we could have ac in the 90+ degree heat. Word got around and a writer for the paper came by, interviewed us and took a photo. She later mailed copies to Bowling Green, OH, where we had a rest day. I’ll try to dig it out and scan it.
Our tour leader offered to give them the daily camping budget for each person there, which was $5/day. The head of the center refused, but we left it for the place anyway. Slipped the spare keys through the mail slot the next morning and took off for Davenport.
