Great Yesterday, Sucked Today

Yesterday I felt great.  I went out for 1:01.51 min, rode 12.7 miles and averaged 12.3mph on the Nashbar.  I went up to Yonkers in a blistering 28º.  I felt great and thought that tomorrow (Saturday) I would hang with the guys; (Big Tom, Jeff, Rob, and Lil Rob).
We started out at 7:45am, went across the GW Rt. 9N on the Nashbar @ 28º again, I still felt good.. I had one egg and some coconut bread to keep my energies up for breakfast:  Halfway through I stated to realize that either they were ratcheting it up, or, I bonked, both happened!  There was another rider who joined us on the Jersey side and took us out.  Big T, was feeling good, because he pulled the line for a long time. Everybody managed to hang with their group, and before I realized that they kept exploding up small inclines, (my weakness) by the time I recovered, they were already up the road.  I rode for 2:24.11sec, avged 13.9mph and rode 33.7miles. I feel my stamina is there, however today showed me I have a long way to go feeling comfortable, I have to stay with the group and ready to attack those hills.  My back was hurting bad, thank God I took 2 asprins in the morning (little good it did me).  Let's see what the new week brings.
