    You never forget when you truly Bonk. That terrible feeling, miles from home, when you try to change into 1st gear and realise you're already in 1st gear. That's when you know it's going to be a long ride home. I've only hallucinated on long rides (600km Midhurst Audax and 1200km Paris-Brest-Paris). Someone warned me it may happen due to sleep deprivation so it wasn't as scary as it could have been.

    I feel the same as you. Just started getting out on my bike again, did 3 rides 1 was a night ride which I enjoy doing. And now laid up with a chest infection and sore throat. Bloody pain. We’ll get there. Thanks for another good video. Take care out there what with the weather getting worse and so are the drivers!!!

      What program do you use when on the trainer? If none, you could give that a try. It makes it more entertaining. I heard that there's even a mod to cycle in GTA.

    I've got to admit i quite like a bowl of porridge usually with some banana and blueberries from time to time but there seems to be some evidence that it really doesn't do much more than give you a sugar rush whereas having something with protein and some fat in it will keep you going longer. I've also been trying to lose a bit of timber and have hardly touched porridge or cereals or bread for that matter and have noticed I'm not getting as hungry as quickly.

    Monday i went out on my commuter bicycle and on a whim decided to go further than planned. It turned out to be a good workout as I had to chase the sunlight as I had no lights. Managed to get a ride in today in anticipation of the weekend storms. I don't do indoor stuff

    Leonard what fuel do you take on the bike? A good breakfast is one thing but it takes quite a while for that fuel to get to the muscles. I take 30g carbs per hour on easy rides and adjust that figure up depending on the length / intensity of the ride.

    • @jollygoodvelo
      @jollygoodvelo  17 днів тому +1

      If I take something it will usually be a banana or an energy bar.

    I'm currently on my 4th month of taking 30,000 iu of vitamin d3 a week. (5000iu 6 days a week) I'm finding my heart rate is much lower especially going up hills. I have to wonder whether the levels of d3 recommended are way to low based on my experience. Im an office worker though, and often am covered when outside.

    Hey Leonard... You don't need monster rides. What you do need is another 90 day challenge at 1Km a day... 5 minutes is all it takes.... I'll even turn a blind eye if you want to do it in your garage. And if you want to do more than that... Nobody is stopping you. I'll even join in on your 90 day challenge with you. I'll do exactly 1Km a day every day of that 90 day challenge and post it to Strava. Oh... and I rode in Hurrican Helene for 2 days when it was here in my neck of the woods.

    Fascinating bonk hallucination story. Maybe others on the channel will share their bonk hallucination experiences also. I personally have a paranoid reaction to my bike by humanizing it and thinking/wondering why it -the bike - is trying to cause me so much discomfort pain etc. I like your hallucination better and will try to bring it up next bonk I get. Thanks.

      I once voiced my opinion riding past what I believed to be such a group of bird shooters - only to be bullied off the road by some psychopath driving an offroader, a few miles down the road later.
      ------------
      Confirmation today, one week on - riding past the same lot marching across the field with their guns and their retrievers in the fields full of pheasants with the same blue LWB offroader parked up, I remember as the one that tried to run me off the road.
      Not only the pheasants they want to spitefully take a shot at!
