Natalie gave me an out (wanting to cancel her morning ride call) and I should've taken it (but I also wanted to ride). Morning rides are a struggle and stressful (trying to get back in time for work) in a way they never used to be pre-pandemic. I guess before, I was rolling to work to finish. But even before, two morning rides in a row was never a good idea. I always like a day in between to catch up on sleep. When we planned to ride this morning, I wasn't planning on riding yesterday morning and I was tired from it so waking up this morning was not fun. The ride, however, was fun and by the time we got to the bakery I felt better. Although, I'm feeling tired again now, back at home sitting here at my desk. :) Last week at Emerald HIlls Cafe I mentioned how SIS gels were my favorite and Natalie said they had a weird lumpy texture which didn't make any sense to me. I was pretty sure she had one that had gone bad. Hong mentioned this morning that he like SIS as well and had one on him so I got Natalie to try it again and she agreed they were in fact good.
