On today&#8217;s ride out to Richmond and back for coffee, just after crossing the bridge over M-53 northeast of downtown Romeo I dropped my bottle and looked back to see it skittering off into the brush-filled ditch. After a few passes I failed to find it, so I headed to meet the rest of the group.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully Erik let me have a drink from his bottle, and that coupled with a gel, muffin and latte at the coffee shop, and the aforementioned bottle of fruit punch-flavor Gatorade kept me going for the rest of the ride. Lacking electrolytes my legs started to cramp up, and I was definitely behind on calories, but it still worked out.<\/p>\n<p>This reas a really, really nice ride. The sun was bright, it was hot, and the lost bottle was disappointing, but it was still a great time. Total distance for me was 64.62 miles at a moving average of 15.1 MPH. Not bad for riding my old(er) Specialized, set up as a commuter with a rack and trunk bag.<\/p>\n<p>Logged GPS data of the ride can be seen <a href=\"http:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/activity\/194822544\">here on Garmin Connect<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m glad Gatorade bottles commonly available at gas stations are designed to fit in bicycle water bottle cages.
