Have any of you been on a ride where you've bonked to the point that every single pedal stroke no matter how low a gear you're in or how calm the winds are, feels like it's all you can do to get that crankarm past the 12 0'clock position?
If so, how long did it take you to recover so that you were able to ride at your normal pace again?
If you ate soon after bonking, how long did it take you to then recover enough to ride further?
Cheers
Yes I have. Not fun. Depends what you eat, but if you pour in some gels it will take about 20 minutes. Most of the times I feel it coming and eat all I got with me at that mioment. Always carry a gel with me for fast recovery.
