Just about halfway through 2008. Man..where is time going? It really does seem to go by faster as you age.
For May, I didn’t ride too many days - only 9 out of 31. I usually get out about 20 days a month. I guess you can attribute some of that to burnout - plus I’ve been spending some more time at the gym. The core exercises I’ve been doing seem to be helping with both my power and endurance on the bike.
Got about a week to go until the #2 12 Hours of Temecula race for 2008. Weather forecast says it’ll be hot, which is to be expected. What sucks is that the forecast two weeks ago called for highs in the 70s. 70s are quite different than 90s. Damn those weather people.
Anyways, I’ll see if I can ride for the entire 12 hours this time, and see if I can ward off cramps as well. I’ve started using Elete water drops in my hydration pack as well as SaltStick tablets. Hopefully they are the cure…
