Corsair, sorry your ride this morning was exciting in such bad ways. Rides where nothing seems to go right only come up rarely, right? So your ride home should be better.
My ride this morning was pretty pitiful. 12 miles of climbing, 12 miles decending. I was so sick to my stomach during the climb that I stopped at the top, got dizzy, got off the bike and sat for about 10 minutes before I felt good enough to ride back down again. Felt better coming down, but still don't feel so good and can't even think about eating anything. I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary before the ride, so I don't know what it could be. I hope it's not nerves, I have to race LOTOJA in ten days, and I can't feel this way for that!
If you can read this, take a pull.
