This February 2020 I made my first Mountainbike Adventure to Madeira (Portugal).
I came here on my own but I got to know some locals right away on my first day, so we rode our bikes together for the next two following days. It was a great experience, because they showed me around their style, so I got to see many things I wouldn't have on my own!
Unfortunately after three days of riding I started feeling sick, waking up in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain. I went to the hospital with the worst pain I ever had, receiving painkillers that wouldn't work for a whole day and a whole night, staying in the emergency part of the hospital. Right before noon of the following day, they diagnosed me with a ruptured Appendix, so they brought me to surgery right away.
Luckily I survived!
Now I can't wait to be outside riding again, cheers!
