When I hit the big stretch I had become comfortable and relaxed, taking full advantage of the new novelty "cruise control". Well I had no choice but to stop three times. Sleepy and exhausted. I have parked "AMI" (the Vaquero) in the driveway and not touched her since. I hope she understands.. Time for a nap.
Thats a good ride for you on the new bike, Congratulations! I find that around 3pm or so I go through a drowsy spell for an hour or so. If I can get through that I perk back up.
