Distance: 10.5
Fellow Riders: Mike
Notes: Before leaving for the ride this morning I stopped at McDonalds for a sausage and egg McGriddle. I figured the hour drive to the trailhead would be plenty of time to digest the heavy breakfast. Turns out I was fine until Cardiac Hill. I rode all the way to the top of Cardiac without stopping at the flat section 3/4's of the way up. But when I did get to the top I didn't feel so hot. Had I just rested for a minute and then kept riding I probably would have been okay. But instead Mike and I visited for about 3 or 4 minutes and my stomach turning just got worse. I warned Mike who backed up, then I made my way to the edge of the trail and let it fly in three separate bursts. Mike couldn't even watch for fear that his gag reflex would be triggered and he would be joining me.
In my 15 years of mountain biking this is my first time yaking on the trail. It was not a pleasant experience, but I did feel better afterward. And Hawes is always a sweet ride.
