Ride report after eating fruit

Ate a tin of grapefruit at 1400 and left work at 1500 with a 35mph direct
headwind to contend with. Thanks to thirty six's advice, I started with a
very high cadence of around 90 rpm. After about six miles I was cooking on
gas and pulling 20 mph into the wind with great ease. Then I got help up a
tad by these roadworks.

http://www.swldxer.co.uk/roadworks.wmv

After that delay caused by drivers, I pinned it at 25mph, despite the wind.
About a mile from home I eased off and rode up the 70ft high "hill" back
home again. I will probably have herring, channa dahl, dark chocolate,
carrot cake and tinned mandarins before I set off home at 1500 today. One
more day tomorrow then a weekend of walking beckons again.

It beats wasting all my evenings and weekends hunched up posting trolling
messages nobody ever reads.

Well it all sounds good, but is this as good as it gets or have you
managed quicker(roadworks excluded) or easier?

I don't think you need the cake with all the rest, but if you do have
it, have it with 1/2 an hour to the off followed by a cup of coffee.

The low GI of chana dahl makes it look perfect to have before going
for a long walk.

Yes - much quicker but that was due to a 50mph tailwind, not because I
ate some fruit before I set off.

How about fruit, cabbage and beans to give you a 200mph
tailwind? ;-)

I don't really suffer from flatulence and in any case, it is coming up
to summer and in summer you get a tail wind on most days.
In the cool mornings, I get the prevailing westerlies which blow me to
work and then after the Sun has a worked its magic on the North Sea, I
get an incoming Easterly sea breeze to blow me home. Good job my
commute is not the other way around.

The sun warms the land through the day and so the local wind blows
inland as the warm air rises above the land usually after 2 o'clock.

I have a very odd diet planned for this dinnertime to make use of
stuff we need to get home.
So I have two Bury black pudding sandwiches, and a buffalo sausage
sandwich.
Fruit will be supplied by a tin of gooseberries and some dried
cranberries.

There was a big meeting the other day and after the dinnertime banquet
we descended like gannets to nick all of the leftovers to shove into
our fridge.
We have new caterers who left a massive pile of pears, apples,
oranges, bananas and kiwis as well, so I kept them all in a big
basket.
Since I will be riding home in around an hour I just ate two pears and
an apple - no cake today.
