HOT TREATMENT

Yesterday was HOT, near 95 degrees. But Leadville is calling & I plotted to ride distance, again, & that's what I did. All to satisfy my spreadsheet (I mean goals). Ride time of 5 hours, road & dirt on my MTN Bike. To Lebanon, multiple laps then back home with a few lakes. Damn HOT! I stopped pedaling 4 times (8 minutes tl.) to eat bananna & refill camelbacks. No lie. Although I consumed 120 oz of water, it wasn't enough. I lost over 3lbs!! How will I ever complete Leadville 100? Perhaps not carring all my food and water for duration will ease things a bit, HOWEVER, the altitude.....

Below is the fuel synopsis for Wednesday's ride. Next a few secret pre-race rides, then Red Wing.
