The 'Bonk'

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

On a 115 mile forum ride in 2010, for some reason I thought I'd be OK despite only having ridden 65 miles in a day before
Around the 90 mile mark, up in the hills I seriously had doubts about making it

Thankfully the brompton fat boy was very encouraging/helpful/patient and got me to the finish via a MaccyD's and even provided a much needed brew at the end

actually it's brompton folding bike if you don't mind... and for a bloke who was way beyond his capabilities you were admirable. no winging or moaning, you just got on with it.

I use to suffer from low blood sugar levels quite often so I am quite familar with the sudden hot flush and sweating followed by the jelly feeling and mad desire to eat anything with sugar in it. Having said that I was out running years ago in the sticks when I simply passed out and was lying in the middle of this track for ages until I came round and staggered home with the worlds biggest headache. Quite scary.
