I’m loving the mild winter we’ve been having here in the Pacific NorthWest. That, along with the beating my construction business has taken from the economy has been fantastic for my cycling. (Unfortunately my wife does not share my enthusiasm in this). I did however, sneak out for a nice 75 mile road ride today under sunny skies and 50+ degrees. This was my longest ride this season and I felt pretty good. I’ve been experimenting with my on the fly eating, and I find for the longer rides staying away from the gels and eating… well pretty much anything other than gel seems to be working great for me. Lately pb&j. Today was the last day of base 2, and I’m looking forward to the recovery week. J
