Goodbye Oregon, hello California! Well either the large chinese meal last night or the oatmeal breakfast or the better snacking discipline (or more likely all of the above) helped as today i was Back In The Game! The old zip was back and it felt a whole lot better. I was really enjoying the long climb out of Gold beach before an insect flew towards my slightly agape mouth and got stuck between my lips. I could already feel the sting as i ripped it away with my fingers. I suppose the law of averages would dictate this should happen to every cyclist once every x thousand miles. But twice this year feels a bit much! You could say it was good practice for this event as the exact same thing happened on my way home from work in June/July. It wasnt a great place to stop so i hardly broke pe dal stroke and pushed on to the top of the climb. My lip did feel a bit sore and swollen so I took a photo of myself to check! ...tbc
Ouch!
