Robbed of a day

So the weekend plan was for some solid rides. We started decently on track by doing some tandem riding on Friday which felt good. After that it was a walk down 4th to pick a dinner spot.

Settled on Bistro 2210. Good times, tasty food. But...

Woke up Saturday, Cindy felt rough. We got ready to go ride - plan was to meet Craig and Kate halfway on their Canmore to Station Flats ride and re-fuel them at Barrier area as we were going to do a loop there.

Decided not to ride after 20 mins in car given Cindy's condition, but at that point were still were going out to bottle exchange as we thought they needed it still. As we were driving, Cindy was feeling worse, and we ended up doing a few highway stops to eject food. She was hot then cold. I'm no doctor, but the signs look pretty tell tale. We suspect an undercooked steak in the steak and frites. She also alternated between chills and hot. Called Kate and Craig who as it turns out didn't need bottles as they had dropped their own... so we could turn around.

Given how close we were to Canmore, we decided to go there to the hospital since they're so efficient relative to Calgary. Chatted with a private equity guy I know who's kid did something to his leg. They gave her some anti nausea stuff, got her hydrated, and here we are.

I might sneak out for a couple hills at night while she sleeps, Cindy might be up for some crackers and ginger ale later.

Bummer. It's awful to have or to witness, and it tanks a couple days out of life.
