Hello everyone,
This will be a very short post. The ride to Dodge is about 85 miles and the day started out cool and weather threatening. I didn’t feel good from the start with my right knee hurting and some sinus issues. However, i felt good enough to ride hard just wanting to get off the bike and rest. I only stopped briefly at the SAG and just pressed on to Dodge. The day warmed up and the sun shined for most of it. However, I never felt really good. I got to the hotel around 12:30 and basically have been resting since. Feeling kind of light headed and put a light brace on my knee. It is another 85 make ride to Great Bend Kansas. I wound up skipping dinner and route warp. Not sure if I will be able to ride the 85 miles tomorrow but will give it my best shot.
Thanks for reading

Sounds like you need an easy day Chuck. If you ride, no hammering. Hope you recover quickly!
Thanks Herm. I didn’t hammer today but I bet this year versus 2014, I am getting in much faster due to the tailwinds but would bet my total energy expenditure is much less than 2014. I can’t tell you how many days that I hit 30 on the flats probe;y lucky to do 15 mph on some of them in 2014.
Chuck,
Please take care of yourself.I hope that you get some rest, that your knee feels better, and that your ride continues to be enjoyable. Be safe.

I am not sure what caused me to feel bad but as the day progressed I got much better. Funny but I felt better on the bike than off the bike.
Keeping an eye on your great ride – hope you recover and can push on. keep up the good ( fantastic) work!
Thanks Larry – felt much better today!
