Yeap, I learned my lesson big time last summer. After 1200 miles riding over a couple days in Louisiana and Mississippi last summer and not staying hydrated I ended up in the emergency room with a horrendous pain in my side that I learned was kidney stones. After multiple procedures and if it were not for my health insurance, nearly $100,000 in medical bills I had them removed the hard way. Very unpleasant experience to say the least.
So you don’t have to tell me twice. Drink plenty and if you gotta stop before you really want to, it’s just what you gotta do.
