The past couple of rides, I have been trying out the eLoad Heat Endurance Formula drink. Some other products I have tried are Nuun, Mototabs, and Gu. Initial impressions are very positive. I will give a detailed review after using it for a longer period of time.
I rode the alpine loop again--Vivian to the summit and back to Vivian. I must have seen a dozen roadies. Other bikers help me push myself a bit harder--every time I see another rider, I have to maintain my ego/image by getting out of the saddle and dancing on the pedals.
There were three roadies coming down the Provo side as I was riding up just past Sundance. Later as I was leaving the summit on my way back down, these same three guys came rolling in. What animals!! I assume they came up the AF side, down Provo, and back up again.
I heard some creaks coming out of my bottom bracket when I would stand and pedal. I better figure it out - I never like hearing creaking or ticking like that.
The descent (my favorite part) was awesome as usual. The bugs are getting bigger and I was lucky not to take one in the soup strainer. After reading some blogs about taking notice of our surroundings, I did stop for a few minutes in the aspen trees above aspen grove just to relax and take in the beauty of the place. I'm a religious person and enjoyed a few minutes to ponder and pray.
I rushed back to the office just in time to join some of the guys from the office for lunch at Rumbi. I had some fish tacos that I felt I had earned from my ride. I highly recommend the fish tacos--The sauce on them is incredible (isn't it always about the sauce??)
I've included a picture of Joe below. Joe is mid 60's. Joe is a very experienced businessman whom I consider one of my mentor's. If you look closely at the picture, he is in flip-flops, 8 feet up in a tree, sporting some very handsome orange shorts, and wielding a chain saw. As I watched this, I thought, everything is wrong with this....including the shorts.
