Am I in a state of slow burn on the bike?
Yesterday I went out on the road bike; and put in 17.4 miles. I had a pretty stiff headwind; it felt like I was working hard; and my calorie burn of 400 seems a bit low.
Maybe because I, myself, was slow. My legs felt tired; I didn’t want to push it; and I averaged all of 11.35 mph. It’s a good thing I wasn’t trying for that century ride, after all!
I began this morning with more slow burn. At 5:15 I went out for a short, slow ride on the hybrid. It’s full-moon time; and I hoped the clouds would part enough for me to see that moon. They didn’t; but at least I got in a few miles for Love to Ride!
Of course I went to the salvage store; and for a change I didn’t bring home any canned stuff. I wonder, however, just how much of my “stash” I should keep in case a hurricane decides to head our way this season.
The salvage store still has those Gatorade Whey Protein bars; and as long as I can, I’m going to buy them to stash away for long-ride food.
The drawback to those bars is, the chocolate coating gets half melted when the weather gets warm; and when I try to pick up a piece of bar, it’s apt to disintegrate. Most bars have the same problem!
It looks like tomorrow will be cloudy; and possibly foggy before 8:00 am. The Easter Bunny will need a good headlight!
As for me, I just hope the T-storms they’re predicting wait until at least 2 pm to break out.
