Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

She dumped Ricky Stenhouse prior to that. His career was circling the drain, so I imagine that was part of it. The old guy she was married to prior to Nascar was turfed for Stenhouse.

Speaking of power meters again, I think I might go to Powertap P1 pedals for the Domane at some point. I think left side crank arm clearance is iffy and honestly I think I'm out of love with my speedplay pedals.

Kudos. Diagnosis is almost certainly cluster headache, but you may still want to see a neurologist to confirm, and also to discuss other treatment options if it happens again.
