Well here I am, sitting in a hospital bed after a free ambulance trip (you read the right, America 😉) from home to the Emergency Department. I’ve been subject to constant monitoring, diagnostics, a chest x-ray and a couple of rounds of blood tests. Not exactly the morning I had in mind.

2022 Resolution Ride #10 – First long ride on the meds
I’ve actually completed a couple of hundreds this month, but this one was the first since moving onto my full medication regime. I rolled out with the intention to ride hard and see how my body (and mind) reacted to the longer endurance ride with some efforts thrown into the mix.
