Remember when you were growing up and your parents said not to go swimming right after you ate alot of food? Well I must have forgot since my wednesday night ride turned sour pretty much right when I started. I ate dinner and then hopped on the bike within 1/2 an hour. I thought if I took it easy the first hour or so I would be fine but I had all kinds of stomach problems. I guess my stomach just shut down . So I cut the 4 1/2 hour planned ride down to 2 1/2. I also noticed the next morning that I was dehydrated. Well I have learned to lisen to my elders a little more, maybe they do know what they are talking about.
