It was cold starting out, but was nice and sunny once I broke through the sheet of clouds. Very beautiful actually. Legs are a somewhat tired but feeling pretty good overall. One more big week to go and then taper down for 2 weeks. Lots of foam rolling, massage and icing is helping me keep up with the training load.
Nutrition strategy comprising of CLIF bars and GU gels is working good for me, except that I just figured out that CLIF bars give me gas. I thought it was something I wasn't eating right on the day before long rides, but eventually narrowed it down to sneaky CLIF bars using elimination. Additionally, the high fiber in the bars seem to speed up my digestion cycle causing more port-a-potty stops. It's probably too late now to try something else, especially since CLIF bars at least work nutrition wise. Anyhow, here are some pics from today's ride:
