went out after work with mike. first time we have ridden in a while since he was in italy. but he had a lot of enery. even though my legs were tired from work they gave me moments of power here and there and started to feel better after about 45 minutes. we generally rode around the canal rd area and went up and down a small climb area. after getting back i picked up a container of cytomax. this is a powder drink mix that will replace the gatorade type sport drink i have been drinking on long rides and as a recovery drink. although mike let me try some accelerade during this ride, the taste wasnt very pleasant. the only negative of cytomax is there isnt any protein in it like accelerade. but im going to give a look around to other supplements to provide protein in either a drink or gel. ride;
