Left out late again and even though I tapped into the Dragon 🐲🔥Mode after a couple mile warm up they were rolling out as I arrived. So I needed to go into the Depot to refill my bottles. They were doing a regroup (no drop) at the last wooden bridge so I joined them there. There was about 15-20 riders at that point with 4 women in the midst. I lead the pace at the front most of the way out and back. A lady from the UK - Jules surprisingly both sat solidly on my wheel and took plenty of solid pulls herself! The wild part was learning that other than these Saturday rides she maybe rides 6 miles during the week! Yet in the saddle she rides with perfect form. Zero rocking of the hips, smooth pedal circles with no signs of voids in her applic of power throughout the pedal circle. No signs of struggle despite being petite and relatively new to cycling 🚴🏽‍♀️ It’s inspiring to come upon such off the charts untapped talent 🫡🧬🦶🏽🦵🏾🫁🫀👁️💪🏾💃🏾 I’ve been doing some research on Pro level fueling and hydration during BIG MILES. I implemented everything I’ve learned within today’s ride. I actually experienced a roll back to my 20’s and 30’s easily in terms of consistent power output, hydration and enjoyment of rides beyond about 85 miles. Power output stayed solid all the way home and I feel none of the brain 🧠 deprived of glucose like state I’m used to by the time I walked into the house and sat down. Stay tuned as I’ll make my findings available for public consumption soon. Bike rode like a Dragon 🐲🔥purging the village of demonic spirits all day 🚴🏾 💪🏾🦶🏽🦵🏾🫁🫀🧬👁️☀️🌴👍🏾🔋🫡
