James and I hit the trails today determined to ride 50 miles...we did. At mile 25 I was in trouble. Maybe it was the beer from the night before or the general lack of sleep from a busy weekend but I was hurting. We stopped and refueled with gummy bears and power bars. After that, I was good to go. In fact, I was riding with more energy on mile 45 than I was on mile 5.
We did the VA loop starting from Capitol Hill and then took the Capital Crescent trail (above) north to Bethesda. We finished off our 50 by completing three laps down at Haines Point. Next up is a 75 miler. After that, the century.
