Thanks ladies, I'll try to take notice if hydration plays a role. Otherwise it's just irritating, not dangerous, because it never happens when I'm up and about doing things, and since I can feel it coming I always have time to go down in a crouch, works better for me than head between my knees.
I'm just curious about things like this and the physical causes.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
