Action100: Banana Blight and the Dreaded Bonk.

Someone once described the 'dreaded bonk' to me. I'm still not sure if this is a technical term - part of me wants to google the word, whilst the other half fears the horrors that may ensue.

Anyway, apparently the bonk is where your glycogen levels fall and you're so weary you can't go on. (And yes, we've heard all the jokes about a bonk every morning)

So, in an effort to prevent this phenomena, or at least make it go away when it hits, the Action 100 organisers usually provide bananas for cyclists along the way, but this year's looking painful. It appears a blight has affected banana supplies across the nation.

In my search for further information, I found the following, which may amuse.
