Still getting ready for the bike ride across the state in a couple of weeks so did a 67 mile ride today.  It was warm (87) but cloudy so didn't feel as hot.  I felt good for most of the ride but ran out of water and Gatorade with about 20 miles to go.  I was really feeling bad afterward.  I was sick to my stomach and very light headed.  I thought I was going to pass out.  I am not sure if it is a stomach bug or if I was dehydrated.  Felt better after a couple of hours but still wasn't back to normal.  Other than that glad to get in the miles.

Hope things are going well for you Jim. Haven't heard from you for a while.

Tom, thanks for checking in. I am still out here kicking. I have been riding the bike a lot lately getting ready for a 160 mile ride this coming Sat. Since I haven't been running as much I have been kind of lazy on blogging. Thanks for reaching out and giving me a nudge to get back on the here.
