Ollie's secret weapon is a PhD. You either build up a massive tolerance to caffeine or you drop out before your thesis is done, there's no other options.

Hank’s Kryptonite = Penny Farthing & caffeine!

I took part in the TransAtlanticWay ultra endurance race in 2018. After 2 400km days on a couple of hours sleep in a bivvy. I thought I'd employ a tactic of an espresso (and a red bull) at every service station on route to keep me going through the next day. Think I had around 8 in a 4 hour period and was dizzy, disorientated and probably hallucinating. Had to keep riding till it wore off as I thought I'd not get up again if I stopped... Not big, not clever, never again.

absolutely love these group rides, we need more, please!!! the banter is infectious

Coffee contains Acrylamide same as smoking, burnt chips and crisps. You be better off picking up apples from trees along your route and throwing the cores into bramble further on.

Poor Hank. I am glad you all stopped and took it seriously. Atrial fibrillation et. al. is no joke. I have heard about caffeine wreaking havoc with the body's thermal regulation and was told early on to save caffeinated gels for the last hour or so of a ride. I had an issue with it this past summer when I stopped for ONE (triple) iced latte on a triple-digit (Farenheit 105), humid day and did feel quite remarkably ill on the way home and for a few hours after the ride.

In 52 years of riding I've never stopped for coffee. If I did, getting back on the bike would not be the problem, but stopping every 15 minutes (or less!) after that to pee, on the side of public roads, with cops passing by, most definitely WOULD be. 😉☹

It isn't that bad once you start doing it... I only got my first race bike in August and just returned from a 240 km ride. Yes, it took me 14 hours, but it isn't as hard as I thought it would be before I first did it if you take it slow... Also they are four people, so they can save loads of power riding in the slipstream...

Nice topic, fun video too. Glad you boys hit on the potential dangers especially- gotta guard your heart at all times.

Very nice to see all four together!

Just like addiction to alcohol is. 😉 I guess any 'social'/socialized addition is A OK with society, and almost expected, maybe even required to be considered 'normal'?? (Just like cancer sticks were many decades ago.) I do not consume any alcoholic beverages at all. When most find this out, they instantly assume that I am a recovering alcoholic, since they consider it 'weird', and almost socially unacceptable to not drink just because you do not like it at all.
