Have any of you been on a ride where you've bonked to the point that

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?

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.

Same here. Maybe 20 minutes with a couple gels. Longer with solid food
depending on what it is and whether it makes me sick.

Now I carry gels and eat them occasionally through the ride. Drinking
something with electrolytes helps. Haven’t had problems since doing this.
