8th April 2009

Today the weather was nice, there were some showers overnight and it was still overcast around 11 AM in the morning. So I decided to come to office on bike. There were a couple of untried stuff, first the extra weight of the laptop, the new seat height, and not glucose or electrolyte solution. I never quite struggled on the office ride, so all this was over looked. But man did I struggle, once I had to get down from the bike , the laptop was beginning to strain my riding position and I quite literally bonked. I was struggling with a gear ratio of 2*4 on flat road ! I had a breakfast, but still I just didnt have any energy. There were times, when I thought maybe I should turn back home and call it a day, I seriously thought so.

Nevertheless this is a wake up call, A cruise in the cool moist air turned out to be a real struggle :(. And I am not sure If I am going back on ccle today, As I write this, I have already finished my packed lunch and still hungry.
