Rode 6 miles with my brake rubbing before I realized the quick release was loose

Was out on a group ride last Saturday and felt like I was working way harder than everyone else. Kept checking tire pressure, thinking maybe I was just having a bad day. Got home and noticed my front wheel had about 3mm of play in the fork. Tightened the QR and now the bike feels like it gained 5 horsepower. Anybody else ever spend a whole ride fighting a loose wheel?

Six miles? Man I would have lost my mind before I even hit one mile.

Truck stop coffee and @abbyg60's advice got me through mile four somehow.

Bet that truck stop coffee had been sitting in the pot since Tuesday too. Your stomach must be filing a complaint right about now.

Bet your brakes are glazed over now from dragging that whole time.
