Day 25
Breakfast was about a cup of grits with two Tbs of shredded cheese, and a scrambled egg sandwich with mustard, hot sauce, tomatoes and two pieces of Morning Star Facon. For lunch I had two mini-Clif bars during my bike ride and a Boca Chic'n sandwich with mustard and rooster sauce after.



Let me pause here for a minute to say that I really, *really* think that Boca makes some of the best stuff out there for busy vegetarians. Eleven grams of protein, six grams of fat, fifteen grams of carbohydrates wrapped up into 160 calories--yum.

Dinner was a big salad and a small bean burrito. All told, I think the damage was around 1800kcals--not bad.

My bike ride today was great. If Map My Ride is correct I covered just a whisker under 30 miles with 584 feet of climbing in one hour forty-five minutes.



I'm not ready for the Tour, but it felt good for a change. On a side note, riding by yourself affords one with a pretty much overpowering opportunity to sing. Over the course of my ride I sang both of these at least twice (and not just because I was having trouble remembering some of the words).

without a group, however, it's difficult to do the audience participation part in the Coulton song.

I did achieve something close to audience participation though, when--while I was out of the saddle climbing the last hill--a guy in a late-model Tercel, wearing a gigantic straw hat, hollered "Ride that thang, boy," as he passed me.
