250 miles over 4 days, and put weight ON!

[jefmcg]

On really long rides, water retention is an issue. When I rode 1200 km in 4 days, I put on 5 kg. My ankles disappeared, my fingers looked like sausages, so it was obvious where the weight came from.

Give it a few days, drink plenty of water, and see if it settles.

I hasten to add that the items listed in my OP are not my normal diet.

CC Ecosse has seen you attacking fried breakfast before
Anyway, if it's any consolation, I have put on weight too, in spite of having ridden more miles for the year so far ever.
