I think part of it was just running out of steam. I really want ti be able to 50-60, I'd love to go for the Birmingham to Oxford sportive in a few weeks, it's 60 miles, but I have no ea home many hills are on the route
Think you have 'bonked' Matt ie run out of fuel in the tank, do you take any energy food or drink with you on these rides, even a bananna is better than nowt
