Hi guys

Remember when I cycled 45 miles and was bonking really badly?:

viewtopic.php?f=40020&t=12838500#wrap

And then, my Boardman was stolen and I was given 2 very different bikes by 2 very nice people.

Today, I took the Monoc TC2 out on exactly the same 45 mile route and this time I took your advice: I ate properly last night, stopped for a proper food break during the ride, and took a sip of water every 15 minutes or so.
It was still a really hard ride and my legs were shaky when I got back, but I was nowhere near as bad as I was in February. So thanks a lot, everyone who advised me! Next weekend I'm aiming for 50 miles...

    excellent - when you've done the 50 i'll give you your boardman back. :D

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
