I dragged myself up to Cable yesterday. The first 6 hours wasn’t too bad, but the last 4 hours got long. Bill relieved me some driving. I woke up today not feeling much better. I had thought/hoped this stomach thing would have passed as quickly as it came. Doesn’t seem that it how it is going. I had planned on riding the whole Chequamegon course today, but that ain’t happening. I think Bill and Karl are still going to do it. This might be the first time in modern history that I haven’t ridden the course before the race. I really like it, so I’m really missing out. Maybe another day of bed rest might help some. Tucker was up and down all night, he was so excited. Trudi already took him for a loop and they are heading back out again right now.

How wet is the course? This year is going to be a screamer without the Berkie Trail! Best of luck to you in the race and your stomach. Hoping for no rain on Saturday, :-)

when I die, I want to come back as your dog. What a great life he has.

I’ve heard pretty wet. Also, looks like about 5 miles of Birkie Trail taken out - similar to 2014. The first section off Rosies and horrifying section after the Fire Tower are still in.

I have not done the race since 93. How is the course different now?

Sometimes food poisoning that lingers can be cleared quickly with Cipro. Just sayin
