I was riding my my bike along the path, in a group ride, I think. We hit an area where the path was badly deteriorated. I managed my way along it slowly, working the pedals at a low cadence. The other riders were still there, but now became extremely peripheral; perhaps they passed it more quickly than I did and moved on ahead? I got past the damaged area, and cruised along for a short while before reaching a spot that was degraded to the point of really being unsafe to traverse on the bike. The others were within sight, riding through it somehow. As I started into this section of path, the loose pavement shifted under my tires and mired me down; I had to really work to maintain my balance and keep making progress. Then I started to get a cramp in my right foot.
A real cramp, which woke me from my dream at 5:00 a.m.
