[RC] Vertigo/dizzy/ motion sickness in the dark - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Skyla slstewart@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I would love to hear what people use to prevent or help getting
vertigo at night. I have been in the saddle longer, ridden in the
dark for years, and NEVER got "helium head" like I did at the end
of our 100 mile ride. I didn't get nausea at all, just felt "higher
then a kite", and could only ride at a walk. What could I have done
wrong to cause this? I was not overly tired. More water, or elytes
maybe? Maybe more food? I wouldn't mind doing a 100 again, but
not if I can't figure out why the vertigo. I am not a pill taker,
my stomach gets too sensitive. I am very easy on the Aleve, which
is the only pain meds I can take. I just know that there was some
very simple thing I must have left out, and need some help figuring
it out.

Thank you,
Skyla
