Ride notes:

1. Not bad at all for a day that started with a thought of hitting 50 miles, but realistically only doing 30… then it gradually increased to 40, 50, 60, 61.2, finish.
2. The ride out to Kansas City is pretty darn nice and flat. 20 miles out. You need to cross US-26, but the traffic thins out at this point.
3. Currently on-track for a 6 hour ride time century. Need to go sub-six hours of cycling time sometime this season for a new personal record.
4. I had a slice of apple pie, 2 Clif bars, 5 Clif shots for this ride. Not enough nutrition. Burning fat reserves… though i don’t have much to burn in the first place. Probably destroyed muscle instead… D’oh!
5. I consumed less than 1.5L of water.
6. I raced a guy from mile 56 to mile 62 at 25-27 mph. We swapped leads and drafted off of each other. Not bad at all!
7. I stood outside my house for a few minutes after finishing the ride. I was standing still, but it felt like I was still moving. Yes, trippin’ out.
8. The Monster Cookie ride on April 25th should be cake.. or should I say Pie? (in honor of Pi day)
