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. -- Simon Mason |

I will probably have herring, channa dahl, dark chocolate, carrot cake 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. and tinned mandarins before I set off home at 1500 today. One more day tomorrow then a weekend of walking beckons again. 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. -- Simon Mason |
