Gyros, I rode the 67 mile route in the Cup n' Cone yesterday. Needless to say, it was hot despite the 7:30am start. I did see a few Gyros out there. Thanks to Gray and Kathy (Sorry if it is spelled with a "C") for allowing me to tag along with them for the first half of the ride. This is the farthest I have ridden to date. My previous high was 53 miles. I averaged a solid "B" pace of 17.1 mph. I consider my legs to have 5 speeds. At around mile 53 I lost fifth gear. At mile 60 I lost 4th gear. I finished the ride in 3rd gear and was slightly dehydrated. I must have drank 2 gallons of fluids between 6:00 am and 9:00pm yesterday. I ate a Clif bars every hour during the ride and one as part of my recovery. Fun ride despite the heat!
Enjoy the day, -David -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group. To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected]
