My problem is needing to pee again between the bike and run! But no more headaches.
Hey! How true! I was on this "No caffeine on weekends" self-campaign but realised that I get spilting headache whenever after a whole morning of ride. So, for the past few weekends, I've down a 1/2 cuppa prior to the ride & keeping fingers crossed, so far so good
