Glad to hear you're okay. I guess you had a classic case of the bonk--but it was a good idea to play it safe. I generally don't like performance food but I keep a packet of Gel in my tool kit just in case I'm caught out on a longer or faster ride than I expected. Or, in case I've eaten less than I wanted to before a ride. BTW, saw your Flickr pics--how is the Brooks Swift working out for you? I'm thinking about making the same switch from a B17.
