But when I got home the headhache continued for the rest of the day and tylenol wasn't helping. I finally went to bed and the next day I made sure I ate good at least 2hrs before going mountain biking. Well ...after about 4 miles of mountain biking I started feeling the same way a bit less this time even though I was biking wayyy more harder than the day before. I had to stop several times to recover...no dizyness but headache and like brain pressure. So don't know whats going on. But overall I had a good time both days.

It looks like this weekend it will be nice too...at least above 50 degrees and little to no winds ...and that works for me!... lol...

PS: At what time you went to the Park Catrin?....
I hope you can figure this out Giulianna, it doesn't sound like fun at all I wonder if it was a combination of the dilation and not eating enough? Strange things can happen when we start running out of fuel. Is it possible that you were coming down with a bug and it simply had bad timing?

I didn't stay in the Park, I saw you when I was on my cool-down lap on the way home. It was around 2:30 when I saw you riding with another cyclist headed the other direction. You were in a conversation and I didn't want to interrupt and I was needing to get home to meet a friend. Hopefully they are right about the weather this weekend! I care more about wind this time of year than temps, it might be too much to hope for a calm Saturday with moderate temps, but hopefully we will get that combination.
