    Need training on that whole "Lunch" thing...

    I need to get into that "lunch" thing more....
    Yesterday started at 0600, rode from PCola to NAS Meridian, coached the Advanced Rider Course Range from 1100-1430, then rode back to PCola, arriving home at 1845.
    441 miles, mostly on Hwy 45, which is 2 then 4 lane, then coming home on the Friday before a long weekend, with all the traffic heading to PCola (now a huge LGBT Memorial Day weekend destination), that 441 miles took all of 8 hours.

    Oh yeah...lunch? Two bottles of Gatorade, and two protein bars.
    Not exactly a culinary extravaganza.....
    I need training....
    Cheers,
    Steve

    We had a great day. I clocked 320. Lunch wasn't great, just a pizza, but Maz is great to ride with. I only got us lost at the end. She saw familiar territory and took over! I have one more day to tackle before rain Monday.

    Nice!
    Almost went... as usual. Retirement is in 20 years, then I'll be able to make every trip!

    If I ate like that my pants would fall off!!

    You obviously spend too much time teaching people how not to fall off their bikes and not enough time teaching them how to fall off their diets.

    Yesterday I did the local riding thing and managed to avoid 2 rain clouds.
    Making it back to the garage, I only managed 112 miles but I did stay dry at least until I opened the bar.

    Back on the deck I had to eat my own cooking. Thank God London broil and baked potatoes on the grill are not that hard to make. To my credit I added a tossed salad.

    Today's forecast looks drier, hopefully I'll get more miles than calories in.

    Not many lobster rolls in central Mass! There was McDonalds, pizza and a CVS. We chose pizza.

    Teaching people good techniques is exactly how I'm not working for a living, but rather playing and having serious fun.

    I promise I'll work on my lunch techniques!
