Solo 40 at 16.0 average speed. Pico Rivera golf course to Seal Beach and back. Seemed windy both ways but felt pretty good. Strange thing, feeling really sick on a previous ride, then a good ride then the next week, felt nauseated after a ride and a shower. Couldn't figure it out but then did a search on electrolytes reading some of the stories about people overdosing on the stuff. Thinking maybe it happened to me, I backed off this ride. One bottle during mid ride. Felt so much better and no bad feelings after or during the ride. Very strange though, didn't know this could happen so hopefully I got it all figured out. Don't drink too many electrolyte bottles on a ride that is a bit cooler where one will not sweat too much. I am not a heavy sweater so I'm guessing I was using too many bottles. Even after the ride, I rode up to the course clubhouse and drank an extra bottle of water to dilute whatever might still be in my stomach. Lesson learned.
Did try some Clif Shot Bloks to see how they would work. Also contain electrolytes so another reason I backed off on my drink of Liquid IV. Seems to have worked, felt much better and even strong today.
My Shot Blok stash it's case. Found these cases at Best Buy for $14. Heck, bought all three that they had figuring I could use them for something.
Funny thing. Reading reviews on amazon and ebay, people complained that they had received 2 of the magnetic mounts and one didn't work. Of course you dope if you don't place them correctly. First time trying it, I felt a resistance, a push if you will while trying to connect the mounts together. Yes, if you put a positive to a positive, it's going to resist. So duh, turn it around so it works properly. I make sure the labels are all tot he front so I don't have to figure it out on a ride. Just make sure all the labels are forward, no problem.
As well, one go pro type mount, some dude complaining that the threads were on the wrong side. Duh,, the part is symmetrical but only one side has threads so place that side on the far side of the screw insertion point. Soo many whack people out there.
Gina, Chuck, and I tried out a new Casa Jimenez location. Actually second time at this one seeing it was closest to the one we liked so much. Others were really way off and actually sucked. This one was decent so we tried it a second time. Second time, it was again OK but not like the one we liked. Sadly it closed down due to leasing issues.
I had a 3 item plate seeing I am over the all you can eat status now. I guess with age, I can't pack it away like I used to and shouldn't controlling my sugar well now. 2 enchiladas and a chile relleno. Few chips but not like before. Gina had a breakfast type plate of enchiladas. Actually pretty good being fried enchiladas. Place is decent but doesn't make me say, I wanna go!
Pre ride night time festivities. Eating cucumber and watching Mr. Ballen crime, murder, paranormal etc stories. Pretty cool channel on YT and Pandora.
Cyclists confuse me. Always whining about drivers wanting to run them over but they place their bikes in the middle of the golf course drive way to work on them while people exit the lot. OK, I almost think it would be safer and they might not get run over if they moved to the left or right of their vehicle seeing the spaces were open, DUH!
