A bad ride for me today, I was planning on a 50 miler around Loughborough yesterday, rode to the meeting point point and unsurprisingly due to cold weather and poor forcast no one was there to meet me, so I headed out on a shorter route incorporating the clubs 'Hilly route'
Didn't feel great at the start but after the first two hills my condition went downhill fast, I felt awful, weak drained and sick so decided to take the flatest route home, it was the worst hour I've ever experienced on a bike.
I now need to look at my preperation before a ride, I have been eating porridge which os a slow energy releaser so not great for the first hour or so of a ride, but thats never really bothered me before, I carry gels and a protien drink so can top myself up when out. I've an idea it could be the wine consumed the night before (as I do most Saturday nights) so I'll knock that on the head next week. Of course I could have simply been 'under par' yesterday, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of 'prep' work is there.
