First time I've pushed my body like that in a long time - good I'm sure. Do need to work on energy sources during rides and definitely need to work on strengthening core. Good thing for the deep ditch that kept Claude and I from becoming Alpo!

BigDaddy Weekly
Good week overall. Noticed a little weakness - muscle fatigue early in the week but managed to get 50 min. on the bike nearly everyday except Sat. Decent nutrition but could be better. Attitude was a little poor - esp. Fri., but you can't get younger. Big thumbs up and thanks to Claude B. on the ride yesterday. 40 mi. at 13.8 mph - very good first 20 mi. but last 10 really pushed me. My legs were spent for the last 5 which was a little surprising and disappointing, probably couldn't have done much more. Certainly know what I've got to work from now. Ride route was very good - several hills with 1 or 2 punishing- and several straight stretches; hopefully typical of BDB.
