Only did 8.42 miles to day and burn only 463 calories. We were going to take a nice cool morning ride, but had some stuff came up. So we road in the heat of the day. Hard Core LOL, well for us anyway. You won't catch me in a snow storm cycling uh uh, I'm not that Hard Core.
Were having a heat wave, and it's not suppose to cool down in another week. Were going to aim for early morning rides.
Just an interesting side note, because this is not a very long post. But ever sense Chris and I started cycling food has started tasting even better after long rides. Were foodies and that might explain why at one time I was 325 and Chris was 327, but not now. :) Back then we really love home cooked food, but the more you ride and the less you eat, it changes your perception on how you view food. We still love food, but now it's the experience of having a long ride, then eating and savoring each morsel. Before we ate just to eat, now we ride to eat. But we don't eat right away after a long ride. We'll split a whole or half of a cliff bar depending on how many hours we are on the bike, get home and we wait one hour, before I make dinner, this way it prevents overeating. That was a skill that had to be learned, because in the beginning riding just 6 miles Chris and I would be ravenous and if you want to lose weight that can have the opposite effect. It took a while, but we did it and now it's just part of our routine.
