As you have probably worked out this thread is about getting of your bike, mid-ride, and taking a pee...
This seems to be happening more often these days. No problem when you training solo, but quite irritating when training in a large fast group. I am refering to myself here. The normal rule of thumb says approx a bottle every hour (750ml-1000ml)- This is off course in normal weather conditions. I have slavishly followed this rule without any problem the last 18 years, but recently this equation has failed me, not to mention making me look like a incontinent geriatric....(no offense to the latter)

What is going on here I wonder. Do you really need less water after you turn 30, or should I be (pee?) concerned...?:confused:

Frequent urination could be a sign of early diabetes or a problem with your bladder. See a Dr who may then schedule tests to determine the cause.
I don't want to be an alarmest, but as we get older parts break down and become susceptible to infection or other diseases.
