Where did it go?

Our strength, that is. We did a 76-mile ride yesterday, and you'd have thought we had never ridden that far before. Truth is, we haven't ridden that far in a long time, and it showed. And we felt it. The last 20 miles, it felt like the parking brake on the bike was on. It was a struggle. We are never the fastest kids on the block, but yesterday we were really dragging. But I do have to note that some of the riders got in only five minutes before we did. But they weren't struggling, and we certainly were. We cobbled together a dinner of protein and carbs and were in bed at 9:30.
We were planning on riding today, but it's actually showery and cold, so instead we may go down to the south bay and look at tandems.
