Cool Dude's 😎 Ride

 Well, met some dude and he was cool, and I'm cool 😎....so, the cool dudes ride 😁 Chatted for a bit while after I finished posing on the dam. He was rolling up on one of my repeats so I caught him in the pic too. 😃 Other than that, just testing affordable nutritional on the bike products. Eating much less than before, I think I require more on the bike as far as carbs. 

Been using these, 2 packs so I take in one about every ten miles. Then a Honey stinger at about half way or 2/3 of a 35 mile ride.  Felt great on a ride last week.  

But on my Saturday 46 mile ride, I worked hard and missed my Honey stinger so that could have had something to do with burning out.  I've always had a big before rides but I cut back a lot to control my diabetes without meds. So I guess I'd rather sacrifice a little on the bike rather than have my kidneys fail,  priorities! 😉

So today was a short ride but I wanted to try the fig thing with a Gu to see my reaction.  Felt good but the longer rides are the real test. 

The Honey Stingers worked well for me. Easy to eat and felt strong at the end of my ride, the last 10 mile segment, actually feeling stronger at the end. Hope it was the HS or maybe just feeling good or placebo effect. I'll find out later ha ha ha!

                                     Then a romantic  candlelit dinner with Gina at Sizzler. 😁

Each booth had a little plastic candle light. Valentine's Day decoration set out on Feb 4th. We'll see how long these things last. Kind of sad that the Sizzler people will find out who their thief customers are ha ha ha!
