No not all at once. 2 rides is what it took. One 70 miler and one 40 miler. Both in 3days. For me that's a good number. The longer of the 2 was on some new roads to. Had to go further North to make the course work out. There was lots of new hills. Lots of old friend hills to. It was a great ride. I felt wonderful when I got home. A little hungry. Still not hammered as often happens. It was the food choices. Pizza for late dinner last night. 3 big waffles with real maple syrup this morning before the ride. Also lots of gels for the ride and 2 before the ride. In all no flat zones during the ride. No areas that I was drained of energy. I did not run out of drinks on the ride to. Though a third bottle would have been nice. I could have stopped to get more drinks. I should have. The ride turned out to be well planned The result was worth the effort.
The other ride of 40 miles was also a good ride. It was on a normal course I have ridden many times. I did not plan that ride so well. I was on the tired side when I was through and home. I did not have enough energy in the body for the ride. Food has become a big problem. I just need to be far more careful about what I eat before I ride. How I fill the body. The carbs that I need. Carbs are both friend and foe for a diabetic. To many carbs at the wrong time and that's bad. To few carbs when you need them and that's bad to. It's a big balance game and it changes all the time to. The diabetes is not such a good room mate. It's a room mate you have to keep though. So you have to learn how to get along. Along for the rest of your life.
Well the other news is Mary Anne's new web site is up and running! Look it up and see what's going on. There are still a few little things the web folks need to get done. Though it is a fun site to look into anyway. Blog's, email, classes, inspiration, books Mary Anne has written and is writing, group stuff and stuff I don't even understand. So look at the new kid on the web block today.
maryanneradmacher.net I think that will get you there. If not google it and remember the new site is .net the .com is the commercial site

My name is David Lee Gordon. I'm 58 years old. I live by my own ideas. I am my work. I work at riding my bicycle long miles. I live by the action of the moment right in front of me. I choose to reach out to life. I choose to "Livestrong". This blog is about today. The past is a very small event. Just a little color. The enteries will be about the adventure as I see it. Just the day. A moment of the life I see and feel.
About Me
- Gordon
- I'm a bicycle rider. More to the truth I train on the bike to stay fit as I get older. I train to fight off the age. Diebedes, high blood pressure, trigeminal neuralgia, unwanted weight and the problems from that to. There is a host of other age related fun to. I let myself put on 110 pounds over about the last 12 years. Then the body just had enough. I was falling apart. So I started doing the only thing I knew how to do. Train on the bike. I was a competitive Cyclist from 1979 to about 1992. I gave it all up. Bad choice. In the end I would have been far better off on the bike. Oh well. The lessons continue. That's really the truth of it. The lessons continue. Everyday, every moment. Everything is connected all the time. Well, that's how I see the Universe for me. How you see it, is your business. Ah freedom of thought. I got married to a wonderful woman March 21st 2007. The love of my life. It's true! It took all these 58 years to get ready to love this one beautiful woman. A writer of poems. A writer of pros. So many people know her already.
