ok.. we have all the variations.. and as this is in Beginners, I will assume the worst.. the OP is making the fatal beginners mistake.. pushing it too hard too soon.. thats all.. drama over.

Food - I went out a while back for a 10 mile session up some big hills. I had a quick bite to eat and drank too much water.
Half way up the hill i just went dizzy and puked and took 5 mins.
That was after just 2.5 miles too !
The rest of the ride I was fine. I always now go out early mornings on an empty stomach or wait about 1 hour after breakfast

If you had milk with your cereal (not everyone does mate of mine eats his dry) then it's probably that thats made you feel sick. Try the toast and coffee or whatever you drink instead of cereal and see it that makes any difference

+1 on this.... could just be a simple case of too much and not enough cool down at the end... get your heart rate up then just stop will make anyone feel sick.

I don't think it's me pushing to hard, I think the reason will be me eating before I go out. I usually have a large bowl of alpen w/ a cup of tea 10minutes before I leave for a ride.

:becool:Normaly don't eat 1hr 2hr afore heavy exercise .Likely to suffer indegestion and that horrible auld stitch evermore . Also if you are on road bike then you are angled further which i find excert's the stomach content's more . And once you stop from high tensity exercise then you have to lower heart rate slowly or you will likely suffer nausia. Try decreasing on last half mile and walk and stretch on dismount with some deep breath's.;):becool:

Went on a ride this morning, only eat a snackbar before hand, managed to fall over but that's a different storyl. I still felt sick afterwards though. A friend thinks it may be my blood sugar level.

That's crazy.

I dunno, depends on if it's one of those rounds in a suburb of semis. No point in riding in the truck between houses, too close together, and then add in all the to and fro from the gateways - I bet you could rack up a few miles.

Although 15 is a lot. Mind you. Assuming 3 miles an hour walking pace, that's only five hours of work.

I am new to cycling but have been a runner for a long time. The rule with running is not to run until at least 2 hours after you have eaten anything. Maybe its the same with any excercise.
