Heat and Dust

After a good afternoon and evening with my family, I returned to my B&B feeling well. I slept well. However, I rose at 6am feeling nauseous again. It is the return of whatever I had last week.

I was a bit worried as I knew I had 45 miles to ride through Exeter to Wilmington and that it would be a scorching day. I couldn't face a full veggie breakfast, so just had muesli, fruit and yoghurt. I felt better once out on the road. It was mostly a day of riding country back roads, with some hills but nothing like Cornwall. I felt fine but the afternoon heat was brutal. I need to be completely covered up.

Got to the B&B at 5 and my hosts are warm and helpful. They even washed my cycling gear and put it out to dry. As I write this, the nausea has returned. I don't know what to do, other than carry on. I've taken rehydration salts. Hopefully a good night will improve things. It's Glastonbury tomorrow, which is not as far as today. Each day brings some new challenge.
