I did an 80 mile sportive on Sunday, on a borrowed bike, hot day and straight after a 12 hr night shift, silly I know.

I now have a massive headache and the trots, I have not eaten anything since yesterday morning.

I suspect food poisoning from a salad on Sunday night, I could be wrong.

It was a really hot day but I did not push myself too much, I listened to my body, but really ached yesterday which I put down to the different bike. Anyone got any good ideas, and don't slag me off for doing a night shift prior to this.

Ps I regularly ride 100 + miles a week and kept myself hydrated

Food and water and mtfu. If you're still feeling crap tomorrow, might be worth a trip to the doctors.

Could be a stomach bug, small amounts of water often and avoid food for 24 hours is good for getting rid of stomach bugs.

Easy to pick something up from your water bottle when it's been sat in the firing line of whatever shit your wheels throw at it on a long ride
