serious health question.............

[curlyfilm]

well for a change i have a serious queston

i was cycling(as usual) today i have not been seriously for 6 days, but i find it easier, after a few days rest, today i did the same distance and time, 45 miles in 3 hours, which is usually around the south downs, so i'm not slacking honest, the only difference today was that i spent more going up the steeper hills
the problem was that when i was a mile from home, i started to feel dizzy, not too serious, but it was quite noticeable, i just wondered what might have caused it, i think it may be a little dehydration, but does anyone have any ideas??????
many thanks

Hey curlyfilm good going- where I am it has been quite mild this afternoon-I washed the jeep and worked up a thirst- did you stop for a top up?

[ummmm]

Probably is....

How are you now....feeling better?

Hiya curly xx

Next time as well as water mix in some juice or have an energy drink or energy bar as your blood sugar levels are dropping. Did you have any alcohol last night?? That affects performance (on your bike!) as you may start off dehydrated.


Hello ummmm!! xx

:o)

[ummmm]

Hello Athley....

Alcohol also effects other performances as well ;-)

[curlyfilm]

thanks all, it went as soon as i stopped, i drink some isotonic drinks when out, and suck the odd dextrose tablet

probably was due too low sugar level, and the few sherries i had last night, it was just strange as i never had it before

a quick smoke when i got in, soon sorted it, who said smokings bad for you................lol

Hello curly, ignore the flirty bints, how on earth do you manage 45 miles in 3 hours ? You must be super-fit, and I would say don't worry about a bit of dizziness. Tell me, if you ever do the London-Brighton bike ride, do you cycle all the way up Ditchling Beacon ? Last time I wandered up it gently pushing my bike and dragging from a can of Bud while a load of fit plonkers came rushing up in goggles shouting "clear the way clear the way !" and I thought they were all W--k--s"

[curlyfilm]

lol super fit no,,, i can just cycle, i usually average 20ish mile an hour, if its flat, and no wind, but like to cycle up and down the hills on the country lanes, some of the hills your lucky to 6 mph up them, and i know what you mean about those "look at me" idiots in matching lycra, i have a marin, which is a urban bike, looks like a non suspensioned moutain bike, but its a road bike, that can take a bumps,and i do wear cycling shorts, but thats it, just a tee and a dayglo vest and whooly hat, and cycling gloves, it makes me laugh when i pass the cycling brigade

On ocassion I have had this when at the gym, but find that taking deep deep breaths makes it pass; proper slowly through the nose and blow slower again out of the mouth.

I usually only get it if I am feeling particularly tired or am shifting / getting a cold so am feeling a bit off colour.

Flirty bints???? Where ????

[ummmm]

I'm not a bint!!!!!!!!!

sex mad and vile.....but not a bint

Curly, i'm feeling all dizzy at the thought of riding my bike that far, I did wheel it up the garden path the other day, I quickly recovered after a couple cups of coffee though!!

Smoking cant be that bad, It cures kippers!!

[bubbly girly]

45 miles are you kidding me thats crazy...
