I'm baaaccckkkkk! A very busy past three weeks, here is the abbreviated synopsis: Memorial Day weekend bike ride - great fun doing water yoga in the Niobrara River following 61 mile hot windy ride -flooded tent - good times with daughters on Memorial Day - work - sister and niece and great nieces arrive - host family reunion at our house for 35 people - start a week long bike ride exhausted - alternating wind/rain for 4 days on bike ride - only about 210 miles completed - great times in camp but give it up and come home early.
Weight 145 - a 3 lb weight gain. It should be a 20 lb gain for all that I ate - so I'm okay with that. I expected to actually gain a little weight during cycling season. I just cannot restrict my calories when I ride or I my cognition gets very fuzzy. I am focusing now on eating healthier and it feels good to get back to more of my normal foods and eating following eating frenzy during the family reunion and on the bike tour.
Suffered a few days from post-ride let down, like the feeling some people have the day after Christmas. But got to go out for a ride last night and thought about plans for rides for the rest of the summer.....lots of fun events to look forward to! I'm very excited about an idea I have for the annual Aebleskiver Bike Ride I host - it has the potential for being really fun!
