I Think I "Bonked"

[jobob]

Anyway, I recently read about how for cycling it's good to train the body to burn more fat vs. glycogen for fuel -- supposedly this helps for longer-distance riding (which, I'd like to work up to). The magazine (sorry! can't remember which one - all I know is it's a UK cycling mag) said that for morning rides NO breakfast beforehand - ride fasted - ride 2 hrs. with water or 5% electrolyte drink - keep steady, do not attack or ride above 80% HR max. If over 2 hrs., eat proper amount according to body weight & mph (for me approx. 100 cal./hr.) on the bike in the form of regular carb foods. So, I tried this.

1. Throw the magazine in the trash.
2. The suggestions the riders gave you sound fine to me.
