Anyone else have a problem with motion sickness on the bike ?

Snip'd

Any tips ?

I don't, but many years ago there was a guy racing F3 (Tony McMurdo - F3 champ) who used to have problems with motion sickness when he was racing! His solution was to use the little stick on patches (just behind the ear) - and they must have worked, 'cos he kept winning, and not having to stop and chuck!

Well I made my morning commute from Colville over to Hamilton this morning so of course back on the computer again. Thanks for the ideas people I have been working on a few things to sort it.

Firstly on my ride back to the beach on Sunday I wore my ear plugs and rode as I normally do and did not feel any queasy stomach at all (was going to go Friday night to see if it made a difference but kids wouldn't let me leave). Don't think I have ever had nausea on the return trip in the afternoon so ever morning I monitored how I feel in the morning and yep I feel queasy as soon as I get up. Takes a while (time and food) and I feel good as.

I also spent 6 hours surfing on Thursday and started feeling queasy out in the surf. 6 hours no food is similar to 6-8 hours sleeping no food so possible link (plus maybe some inner ear problem others have suggested )

So this morning as I rode over from Colville I got up 45 minutes before I left which is about a 5.50 am start. Felt queasy as I do when I get up that early with limited sleep (similar to a hangover feeling). Ate some sultana bran and took it easy over the gravel and all the way to Coromandel. Could feel the nausea trying to take hold but tried looking further into the corner and leaning more with the bike, also had less wind proof clothing, no ear plugs and more vents open so I didn't get as much of that overwealming hot feeling.

So managed to get to Thames with less nausea than normal but could still feel it trying to get me. Was manageable especially with a good dose of HTFU thrown in so happy with that.

When I get back early Feb will check in to doc to get ears checked. Only two more Saturday morning trips back so should be fine.
Cheers guys and gals all good.
