Pictures Day 6 Cycle NC
 

Day 6 Cycle NC Done! 76 miles from Smithfield to Wallace. Overcast, decent winds, no rain and good temperatures to ride in.

But the story for today was food poisoning from last night’s supper that affected a LOT of riders, including me. Quite a few folks got very little sleep from feeling bad. It’s not what you need away from home, camping and needing to ride a bike! A lot of people were dragging this morning and a number chose not to ride.

I rode but it was certainly more challenging starting on a fairly empty stomach and not eating as much as usual along the way. My brother and I rode together a good bit more today.

One more day of riding to close it out!!! Maybe we’ll get lucky and avoid most of the rain!!

Tonight’s entertainment

Food poisoning is the worst, especially when camping - with several other sickos. Very sorry to hear about that rough day. Don’t eat the potato or macaroni salad! Hope it all turned out better.
