RAGBRAI 2023 Day 2.1 update – She lives!
Hey everybody! This is Leah.
Todd thinks the carbon monoxide from all the generators around us the night before last made me sick. Thanks, carbon monoxide!
Anyway, I am up this morning and ready to go. Todd said if I “pound” two Gatorades before I leave, I can ride with Susan today! We are only planning to do 1/2 the course today, which is around 45 miles. He also said not to dilly dally at the stops and get back before the heat sets in. (Of course, his actual words were different and not so nice!)
Special shout out to Danae for allowing me to rest inside her house in the air conditioning all day and for letting us sleep in her basement last night. So wonderful. She also made me a special hydration drink that really hit the spot! We really do have the best hosts and support people!
Looks like you are all having a great time in spite of the hot weather! Good to know that Leah is doing better.
