30miles again today.
Not a drop to drink, though I took a bottle.
Cuppa when I got home at 1ish, then beanz on toast for lunch.

No liquids since the tea, but I'm just about to open a bottle of Hobgoblin. :D

Out on Monday, I rode 27miles with 3,000ft of ascent in the mid 20s deg C, and never drank a drop.
I had a cup of tea when I got home, and threw the water in the bottle down the drain.


Similar (ish)...

Out on Wednesday (lovely warm day)....64.9 miles....3238 ft of ascent....I drank a bit half way through (I blame a salty bag of chips that I bought) but threw most of the water away when I got home (I usually do)....

Then four pints of Tetley's (again, 'ish') when I got back home......FAB !!
