I got out for a great ride today. I went out by myself, but I felt strong the entire ride (except for the final hill on Old Esquimalt Rd). Last week I waited too long before I started eating a Clif Bar which was a bad idea. Today I started replenishing my energy before I felt hungry. Maybe that had something to do with it.

The ride was a little longer than last week, which is good, and I got to see lots of different parts of the city. Maybe next week I will head out the peninsula a little bit. I haven’t been out there in a while.

Once again I used My Tracks to record the route. I actually started recording in my backyard, but for some reason it didn’t start until a little way down the road, strange.
