What's your worst story about bonking on the trail or ride?
Mine comes from when I was about 17 years old. My buddy and I rode to Case Mountain and did a loop there. I had eaten only a powerbar. I completely failed on the ride. We were actually off the mountain and I was on the road riding home and I literally couldn't pedal a single additional stroke. I remember just flopping off the bike and falling asleep for almost 45 minutes on some random person's front yard. I was about 3 miles from my house and I just couldn't go any further. Even pushing the bike.
That's only happened to me twice. The other time my buddy and I rode from Manchester to Springfield and we couldn't make it back. Had to have my parents come pick me up (yeah... again I was in high school at the time )
Recently I don't have any situations that bad. Even running the marathon I never crashed like that, but these were both > 5 hour rides. Dunno if it was a lack of water or what but I remember literally thinking I can't belive I can't make it back.
I'm glad it never actually happened in the middle of the woods, miles from anything.
