Head Ache.

[Chrisc]

Thank you all very much for the replies and advise.
It seems that dehydration may be the problem.
I always take plenty of liquid with me and at my first stop I often drink 0.5 litre of fluid.
Possibly I should drink that amount before I set off ?
As I remember from my marathon running days the general advise was drink before you realy need it because beeing parched or very thirsty is too late for the re.hydration to take effect.
My blood pressure is fine.
Once again thank you all very much and may I wish you all a very good new year,with lots of pleasent cycling.
Best Wishes
Doug.

Yep, good idea to get some fluid in before you start and as you say, don't wait till you feel thirsty. Keep it going in.

Most people dont drink enough water, sometimes this will only become apparent during exercise it is good practice to drink regularly through the day. Bergerac-wine- hangovers ?

If your urine isn't nearly clear before you set off, you are already dehydrated.
