Great ride and I'd like to brag :-)
Over the weekend (Sept. 25) I did a ride (Staten Island's Pumpkin
Patch Pedal) with 5 others and we proceeded to ride a really nice century at a 19.8 mph pace. I'd like to thank Gina, Jud, Mark, Bob, and John. I've left off their last names as I didn't ask if I can post them. Without them I'd be: 1) taking the SAG wagon (ripped the rear tire wide open at mile 45) 2) unwilling to finish as I got sick at mile 50, 75 and 92. 3) unable to keep that kind of pace for 100 miles by myself. My previous fastest avg. was 18.8 over 100 miles (with several of the above folks) done in June this year. BTW, it was a great day to ride in NJ, USA. Started at 62F at 7:30AM and went into the high 70's by afternoon. There was some wind starting around mile 40 but with the 6 of us riding 1 minute on the front and five resting we were flying! The terrain is rolling flat land at the start, flat in the middle and a little rolling flat land toward the end. Oh, I took my turn just like everyone else. Bob and John said they'd never broken 18 before. Our plan was to take an easy ride at around 18 mph avg. Despite getting sick I had no trouble riding as my legs felt great! Weird but true. I love it when a plan comes together! -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ (Text only) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II) http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog |

Well, that's what made me sick one time... I don't exactly know!? I thought it was the raisinettes (what the difference between a raisin and a prune? 15 minutes :-). but it started before then. The last time it was Orange Gatorade. I'm not sure what to think. BTW, I ended up with the runs but I didn't get dehydrated and drinking Lemon-Lime Gatorade (what I always use) didn't make me sick. Weird, last time I got really badly dehydrated. This time I didn't have a problem with dehydration. I went through about 240 oz of gatorade. No dehydration the next day but I was a bit tired. :-) I could have still realed off another 60 miles. I doubt it was over-exertion as I kept pace with everyone, took my full minute pull and road rather well. I wonder if it might have something to do with the last few weeks low mileage (around 100 for the last 3 weeks). I also seem to have this problem at the begining of the season when we start to build up miles and I jump from 62 miles to 100 miles on Saturday rides. It could just be that this year was a bad year ofr illness. I've suffered through 2 centuries where I had heat problems. I normally love the heat and have typically riden on 100+ days. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ (Text only) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II) http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog |
