what is a bonk?
A drop in blood sugar when you're being active?

learning yet another whole new vocabulary....

In NZ in non-cycling circles, to bonk is something you do with another consenting adult in private somewhere!

But yes, in sports events like cycling, to bonk is to "hit the wall"... to suddenly find yourself with depleting energy... and to truly bonk can mean that you tumnble off your bike - your body just gives up, some people have virtually passed out because their body has said "excuse me, you might want to go on, but there is physically no way that you can"

Just make sure you keep nutrition up - if it is a looong ride, I would start eating about an hour in, and eat every half hour. I don't eat much, just half a muesli bar at a time - unless I feel hungry and then I eat a whole bar.

The longest ride I have done took me 4 hours and that regemin of eating was enough. I may have needed something more substantial if I had had to output more power (it was a training ride, not a race) or if I was going to be longer in the saddle.

LOL, NMT, I hadn't thought of that as a reason for no second hand seats...
