• Beautiful Morning Followed by Agony

    August 26, 2024 in France ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    62 miles / 1260 ft. Montpellier, France. A beautiful morning, followed by sickness in the afternoon. I’m not sure if it was something I ate or dehydration (most likely, the uncooked shellfish🤮). The last 5 miles took us about two or three hours to complete. Lisa took care of me while I laid curled up beside the bicycle trail vomiting . A lot of concerned bikers and walkers offered to help and brought me some cold water. This is the first time I have ever been this sick on tour. Hopefully it only lasts 24 hours (now going on 48). I should have known better than to eat raw shellfish! Lisa navigated the last 5 miles to Montpellier with me following her wheel closely. When we arrived at the Airbnb, I collapsed into the bed. Most of the later part of the day is a blur, quiet sure I had a fever. Lisa was a hero and most likely I would have need an ambulance if it wasn’t for her.Read more
