It's all about listening to your body & knowing what you need. I used to carry 2 bottles of drink on the bike, but would quite often drank not much more than 1, even if out all day. Nowadays I only take 1 drinks bottle & have been know to manage 100 miles without a refil, probably not enough I know, but I manage
If I do need a refill, I find suitable village store & usually top my bottle up with Coke/water mix (works for me) Normally on 100+ mile rides I will have a food/cafe stop, but can do around 80 miles without a food stop, just have a cereal bar or something whilst on the move
Given the frequency of my hedge-sprinkling on rides these days, I suspect that I am heading that way too...!
You had things checked out mate? It's only a blood test nowadays
I've been having a few issues last few months
I've been given the all clear from the Docs, so reckon it may have just been saddle issues, even though I've been using the same saddles for years?? Maybe it's just different using the turbo, as last winter I used the turbo bike far more than ever before? Did 75 miles last week with no issues, so fingers crossed
