No Bonk

I would like to say congratulations to Rob (my business partner) on his new baby boy. I already like this kid, he saved me from the dreaded bonk. With Rob gone I’ll be picking up some slack around the coffee shop for awhile so he can spend time with his new family. Besides, I got close enough yesterday. Ryan Hamity and I rode three-hours and I was getting close to bonking. In my rush out the door, I only packed one gel for the entire ride which wasn’t near enough. First the legs started to cramp and then my stomach started to knot. Next thing you know, I was surge pedaling and having a hard time focusing. I arrived home just in time because ten more minutes and I would have been done. At least it was a lack of planning and not fitness that caused it.
