I&#8217;m trying to build miles back into the faux-training almost-routine for a couple of century ride possibilities that are coming up. I&#8217;ve fallen into a lull of short rides and so today hurt. And it was only a 42-mile route. But, still, that was my biggest ride since April 1st. <\/p>\n<p>Of course you&#8217;re right in the middle, the perfect halfway point, when you wonder if you feel like doing it. Stopped at a gas station to buy a Gatorade. It was August, so I&#8217;d already had 64 ounces of water. Enjoyed my 32-ounces of fake electrolyte beverage and then re-filled one of my bottles at the gas station. That&#8217;s another 24 ounces. <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re supposed to have some chocolate milk after long rides to repair your muscles. Honestly, I couldn&#8217;t drink another thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four new things<\/strong> on <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/kennysmith.tumblr.com\/\">Tumblr<\/a>.
