Ocean City
Posted by Mike Z on August 18th, 2008
I was in Ocean City this past week and made it out on two rides: One 30 something ride with my Brother and another 47 Mile solo RIDE. solo ride included demoralizing two triathletes complete with their aero bars and a roadie on a Pinnarello. That day I wanted to ride hard and this was my longest ride of 2008. I could have probably ridden longer with more fuel. All I had was water and a gel. I stopped and got 2 bottles of Gatorade 2/3 in and could feel the energy increase soon after taking each drink. The Pinarello guy took like 5 miles to catch me and he caught up as we went through Bethany, I think. Then he rolled through an intersection almost killing himself - cars screaching to a halt etc. I let him go after that and paced off Mr Aerobars, not in his draft. After the 3rd car cut him off I went past and he rode behind me for a mile or two. When I slowed to make a U-turn, he rode by and said something like I just noticed you only had one gear now I feel like an idiot! Yes the ride was flat and today the wind was not so bad.
