It has happened to me just once before during BIYF, but that day I also only had like 2-3hrs sleep and was like 5hrs into the ride part of which was trying to keep up with Finkraft riders. So I suspect it just has to do with lack of sleep combined with hard effort.
This was far from one of Jimmys "normal rides".. plus that happens when you wear those $2.00 glasses for 3D movies..
Nice job doe Jimmy, you looked cool on a real bike..
Didn't this happen before at the Stewart? race when they put you on the dead sled? Think it is mainly a water issue?
Well I had like no sleep for that one as well but no double vision.
Hmmm, I am remembering now that you have some crazy sleep, or lack their of, schedule. I guess trying to conform to a traditional schedule for a day probably causes some issues.
Sleep schedule has been more normal lately, well not compared to a 9-5 person, but I actually sleep at night now for the most part. I have felt crappy on a bike many times because of lack of sleep but the 2 times this year have been first for seeing double. In general I need to hydrate better regularly but I don't think I'm too bad with that.
Fun write up!
I used to get light headed all the time on rides and I found it to be mostly from lack of hydration before the ride. I'm on a saltine cracker/banana/bottle of water before a ride tradition now. Sodium, carbs, anti-cramping, simple sugars, and H2O!

Pleasure meeting you sir... I did catch a couple glimpses of the bike leaning up against the building in the morning... So sweet - sorry you had mechanical issues with it.
