Lemonade and cycling

zummerzet_lou

Can someone please settle a little dispute between me and hubby.

What would happen if say, you'd cycled hard for approx 3-4 hours and then downed a pint of lemonade, or for that matter, any carbonated drink?

I know now ... but I'm told "Everyone knows that""

TIA,
Lou

My guess is that I'd throw up, but I do that anyway with most fizzy drinks...except beer which is a complete mystery to me.

Your wife will nag you about drinking fizzy drinks after a 3-4 hour ride and then post it on the internet to win some silly point,

So what does happen?
I'm having a great tme imagining foam bubbling out of my nose and farting bubbles[:D][:D]

ooooh, what beautiful hairy baby elephant legs you have!

zummerzet_lou

Thanks guys .. I think you've proved my point!

It makes you sick .... something that I didn't know, and wish I had done about 11am on saturday morning.

According to my darling hubbie "Everyone knows not to drink fizzy pop after doing (lots of) strenuous exercise" .. guessing they don't?

I remember in my youth downing a fizzy drink immedeatly after an extended session of heavy exercise, with some disastrous results.

The exercise was taking part in a local quazar league, 4 games back to back, then jogging 4 miles home. The result my dads never quite forgiven me for, manageing to fill his work boots as I vomitted in the passageway [:D], especially as when cleaning up I didnt realise it had went into the boots not just stayed on the outside... He discovered my mistake when putting on his boots in the morning [:(]

That was the result it had for me anyway, since then Ive never had fizzy drinks after heavy exercise.

EDIT started typing this before Lous post, I dont think EVERYONE knows this, only those who have made the mistake or been around someone whos made the mistake [:D] It does take a far amount of exercise to trigger it though, and might be related to drinking speed and degree of carbonation. I have no issues drinking sparkling water after my 7 mile commute.

The trick is to eat half a pack of Mentos mints at the same time.

How did you get on with your Charity ride Lou?

Nice one DomT!!! (Seen Mythbusters recently??)

(If anyone is unsure about this phenomenon, get a 2 litre bottle of coke, add one mentos. Preferably outside, for example at a family barbecue!!!)

Cheers .. I dont' feel quite so daft now, and I certainly shan't be drinking lemonade after cycling ever again!

Afore mentioned incident happened after a 54 mile ride .... which is a very long distance for me ... took about 4 hours!

Shall be doing my 60 mile charity ride on 1st July - and will only be supping water or squash.

well after a gruelling 50 miles up and down the peak district i stopped at a garage and had a lovely nice can of coke. no ill effects, and got me to the cat and fiddle for a pint[:p]

if i had a better signature, i'd use that instead

I should have pointed out that I was joking about eating Mentos mints with any kind of fizzy drink, esp. Coke. Just look what happened to this poor girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtwwNKqRyxc
