For a Saturday ride, the weather was not bad, humid but cool in the low Seventies at start.
A new fun and flat route, with the hills in front of you at the beginning and the fun and flat roads for the remainder.
I didn’t make it to the fun roads.
I did enjoy the separation on Thrift Rd, and Surratts Rd is always fun. We had a decent respite at the first rest stop and I bought hydration to cap me off for the next portion of riding.
Cramping started on Croom Rd. They happened again on Molly Berry. They finished me off on North Keys near Plantation Rd.
Double cramps in both legs. Thanks to Phil who helped me to a concrete abutment to sit on.
Cell phone 📱 signal was weak in that area. Phil’s phone was slightly stronger and he was able to alert SAG (Rodney).
Rodney drove me back to the start where the cramping resumed. A double shot of pickle juice and I was able to drive home.
Sometimes you eat the bear 🐻 and sometimes the bear 🐻 eats you. Do better the next time.
