I wanted to quit after Guenoc too! My stomach was really bothering me. I think at that point in the ride - 140 miles or so, my stomach really wants real food, but nothing appeals. I end up feeling like I'm going to puke anytime I go uphill. The same thing happened on ESDC.
Anyway...Thom pulled up beside me to give me my battery because he was heading over to the Dam to set up one last stop. I said, "Can't I just get in the car now?" He replied, "It seems a shame to quit now when you have come so far." Damn!
Jesse stayed with me from that point until Hennesey. He was great. He would talk enough that it distracted me from being miserable, but not so much that it was an effort to talk. At Hennesey I had a soup and some hot chocolate and the stomach ickiness went away. I was still VERY tired and sore... but that's to be expected.
Oh and I so needed a bathroom! We stopped at that funky store in Pope Valley. Their bathroom is disgusting under the best conditions. It was truly unusable.
