It promised to be a very hot day, so Gary and I met at the Budweiser Brewery at 8 am and did a short leisurely ride through the countryside.  We did about 30 miles.  Gary is recovering from surgery so we took it easy.  Nice ride over beautiful country roads.  Climbing totaled about 1300 feet.

I made a green smoothie last night made up of apple juice, peach, orange, banana and a couple dates plus ground flax, sunflower and sesame seeds with a few ounces of organic baby spinach.  Took some fruit in a cooler including bananas, dates and oranges.  Drank the smoothie before ( and a little after) the ride and ate some fruit during the ride and some after.  Returned home early afternoon and had a stuffed whole wheat tortilla with hummus, avocado, peppers, celery, carrots, a little brown rice, a little lentil salad, and some organic spring mixed greens.  For dinner we had whole wheat pasta with chickpeas and spinach.  Had some fruit for dessert.   Click on the image to the left for nutrition details.
