The BONK

A few years ago I was in a little over my head with a Saturday group ride that I joined. The first few hours I was ok but then the crisis started to creep in. A feeling of utter devastation both physically and mentally took over and I just wanted to get off the bike and crawl into a ditch for a nap.

Thankfully Anthony was there and noticed that I was in a bad way. When he rolled up beside me to ask was I ok, big fat tears started rolling down my face. It felt like nothing was ever going to be ok again.

We peeled off from the group and I managed to limp (with a helpful push from Anthony) back to a town and into McDonalds for a life saving McFlurry and a coke.

I know some of you will have experienced the BONK.

It's bad isn't it?
