I can still remember the first (and last) time I bonked. It was not fun. I had to get off my bike and sit down on the ground. I was that bad. A friend of mine asked me what I ate for breakfast and I said "I don't remember". Not because my brain was foggy, but because I didn't want to admit to having ate next to nothing. Never did it again.
