The Hunger Pains
An hour before heading out for today’s ride, I had made myself a breakfast style skillet. So packing a banana in my jersey was more of a customary act. Little did I know that 7 miles into the ride, that banana allowed me to continue.
My fat stores obviously are non-existent, all the weight I’ve lost must of been my body going after the low-hanging excess fat. I could lose another 5 lbs., but that’s about it, anything more and I’m looking mighty frail.
Women can look anorexic, because that’s the style these days, but men need weight on them, at least that’s what my wife tells me whenever my weight is free falling.
Tonight it’s pasta, need to carbo up for the weekend.
MTB: distance 21.75 miles, average speed 13.6 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
