bonked, hit the wall, blew up !!!!

[simon_brooke]

well today i bonked, or hit the wall, or blew up, whatever you want to call it

seemed to be doing fine for around the first ten miles then just ran out of puff !!! stopped to stretch and then realised how hot i was. had a banana and tried to carry on but my legs were like lead, then my nose started to bung up, may have been hay-fever but not sure.

had to roll home like a tourist with my helmet off to cool down

not felt that bad on a bike for a long while

Seriously, have you got (or are you getting) flu? I'm just recovering, and it isn't nice.

off to visit relatives in south wales, and no room in the car for a bike

couldn't go out this morning as the wife was at work, so spent the morning in the sun doing a bit of a service on my commuter bike (fitted different rear mudguard, tightened spokes in front wheel, fitted different rear derailleur, greased front and rear wheels bearings and general clean)

didn't really eat or drink anything till around 3 o'clock, apart from breakfast, and then headed out for a ride.

I didn't eat or drink properly a couple of months back and after about 25 miles across the morning I was feeling so weird and discombobulated when I got to work I put my D-Lock through someone else's bike as well as my own. In a very obvious way.

Luckily I know the owner well and when I explained what had happened he was very nice about it.

 

[jig-sore]

yes, I've seen the hills in south wales , that's why there's no room for the bike maybe one day
