This was a good week for riding. Because of Thanksgiving, I had only 3 early morning rides. The weather was cool but not cold. 

I took advantage of the days off to try to catch up with my Apple Watch November challenge to burn at least 1400 calories per day. I should not have waited until the last weekend to catch up. It was a good week of riding and I wish I do that more often.

With a south wind and Flatwoods closed for Thanksgiving, I decided to ride around home. I did three loops then went to Starbucks. Chestnut Praline Cocoa. 
I rode home and had stomach cramps the last 5 miles. I should probably stop drinking hot cocoa.

SE wind. Rode down to Flatwoods and did 3  loops. Feet tingling at mile 23. Feet cramping at mile 26. Ate some Skratch energy chews at mile 27. 
Rode home was good. I need to get better on knowing when to click lap. Not that any of it matters.
