My daughter and I decided to go check the mail at the post office box, 3 mile easy round
trip. Then being bored thought we would ride into town and eat a burger at McDonald's, 10
more miles round trip, after getting to town and feeling great, she wants Burger King, LOL,
another 5 mile round trip, after eating a very light meal, we went to some friends house,
another 3 miles round trip. we keep getting further from home. On the way back, with about
6 miles left to the house, I started to get a headache, then stopping at the last store before
the last 6 miles, felt like I was going to pass out, dizzy, shaky, almost confused feeling. the
temperature was 90 degrees, and I was riding in jeans with a black heavy shirt, she
was riding shorts, light colored t-shirt. Remember this started out as a quick trip to the post
office, nothing more. Well I new I could not make those last 6 miles, we live in a very hilly area,
actually I could barely stand or think. We ended up just locking the bikes up at the store,
caught a ride back to the house, and after about 1 hour of AC and cold shower returned for
the bikes with the truck, this is not a long ride for me, especially with all the stops, and I do ride in the heat all the time, daughter was fine, just leg tired, is this what you guys refer to as a bonk ? or heat exhaustion. Confused, Richard
