First ride in 10 years!

Ah well fair enough skipping meals + bug is not great. Don't skip meals or sleep before cycling and take a small amount of food with you . I hope you'll be back here soon telling us you got on great. All the best.

I'm not sure you have to eat a great deal on a 6 mile cycle

Hush! I use anything over a mile as an excuse for a snack...

+1 for wearing layers. I always overdress (I mean too many layers, not that I wear a ballgown) and make sure I have a pannier to put them in as I strip off. Or even if it's warm, I take a thin longsleeved layer with me, in case I end up sitting about in a cool breeze or something.

Anyway, well done for enjoying the ride despite feeling rough on the way back, and hope you're over it soon.

6 miles = 4 Blueberry Muffins and half a packet of Jaffa Cakes

or maybe im just Cyclings equivalent to the Range Rover
