january 5, 2007

went out for the first ride of 2008. wasnt 100% sure where to head but eventually did the muffin ride(without buying any muffins) and then a climb up long hill. had a nice strong finish that was motivating for my goals. hooked up with an older rider in the beginning of the ride but eventually he fell back and ended up going solo the rest of the way. didnt see any other riders today until going up long hill. surprised since it wasnt extremely cold. but it still was a chilly 42 although the winds were calm. took a good approach to eating this morning and am trying out my new recovery food. had coffee and half a granola bar before taking off. then came back and ate my normal breakfast of oatmeal with raisins and walnuts. think it is going to help to control my raging hunger and appetite that has been troubling me lately. anyway, hope to get out tomorrow as well for a little lighter ride. maybe mike will come along. ride;
