The Errandonee Experience

Had a great bicycling experience the past two weeks completing an Erandonee.  What's an Errandonee?  Best to let Chasing Mailboxes blogger MG, who organized it, explain this winter challenge as she does HERE.  I completed my Errandonee on Tuesday morning last week with a pre-dawn ride to Terry's Coffeehouse, and then added a 13th control for good measure with an evening ride to the library which, because I was thrown off on days all week by the Monday holiday, was closed by the time I arrived.  Altogether, I rode 13 errands in 9 different categories for a total of 91 miles in 12 days.  Here are pictures of my bike from my 13 Errandonee ride destinations: Sean's Errandonee Album.

On my diet, you'll notice addition of some potatoes and rice in the meals.  Right now, I'm primarily focusing on being gluten-free due to digestive issues while also trying to get some other aspects of my diet dialed in.  I've been experimenting with this and have benefited so far by some increased energy on my rides thanks to a few more carbs without any adverse effects that I can see so far.  If it doesn't work for you, eliminate that element.

Here are my workouts and meals for the week:
