Punched in the Kaiser

Rick called me today to se if i could get out for a ride. The wife was oncall so at first i said nope. With some juggling, i was able to sneak out after all. I have been fighting a stomach bug for a few days ( read can get too far from the bathroom in a sitting position) and i was finally felling better, so i figured since it was sunny i'd enjoy getting out.
There was a nasty N - NE wind, so we rolled out west down the tracks, looped out past Benedictine U and thru the neighborhoods back up 59th st and home.
I felt ok going out, but anytime the road turned up and once we caught the headwind, the signs of being dehydrated, and i was getting a severe punch in the Kaiser from him. He encouraged me, but the efforts hurt to get it done.
Glad i got out - another 30 miles in the book 1:45 rolling and north of 1100kj was good by me.
