I am literally eating whatever I like at the moment and lots of it!
I was a 28 waist when I was 17 due to being completely undernourished of my own doing (over 6ft and barely 10 stone for most of my teenage years), then 5 years of complete inactivity, beer and curry at uni and I worked up to a massive 12 stone, still with arms and legs the diameter of the centre of a loo roll but with a comedy belly giving a fairly tight 30" I'm now a comfortable 30" with more normal proportioned limb length/diameter ratio. Can't get over 11.5 stone no matter what I eat and I don't do much exercise apart from cycling to work (approx 100 miles a week)
Anyway, personal history aside, my tale from today's commute is as follows:
It was fine.

get stuck in mate!
I think I went overboard, cause I started to put weight back on !
Anyway I see St Ives is back to normal, flooded GBW, flooded Low Road.
Came back by the A1096 tonight, hope the flooding goes down a bit tomorrow!
I came thru Fen Drayton trying to catch a cyclist, but I just could not, despite a 20 mph on the flat, maybe it was either you or Martin, around 18:-00 ish

That probably was me, red jersey and a flasher on the back? I went down the Low Road - all clear, the fields either side were very wet though.get stuck in mate!

Damn this commuting lark.
Weight basically constant for three years, yet had the tighten my belt again as my trousers were not staying up too well.
Even worse my wedding ring keeps coming off, especially when on a drop bar bike.
Careful with that. My wedding ring came off and got crushed by a car about a year ago - had lost about a stone in weight.

Here for rides.
It wasn't just a slack chain. It's borked. And my saddle bag decided to come unhitched, launch itself into my rear wheel and break a back light.
Nice sunny ride home though.

A short quicker uneventful commute for me this evening as I wanted back to go on the Yaxley Riders Session. The nutters came out for that though, en route a car waiting at a side road on my right spotted a gap on the busy Thorpe Road skidded/ pulled out, unfortunately I was in that gap 
[quote="ianrauk, post: 2368141, memberserious]Looked like a very nasty accident in Lewisham this morning at the A21 Roundabout. All 3 services in attendance. It's my usual route. Didn't fancy seeing anything not nice so made a detour. I hope whoever is involved ok. But with the amount of services personnel in attendance I guess not.
Apart from that, was a very nice quick ride in.[/quote]
just to let you know that no one was seriously hurt this morning it was a collision between a foreign tour coach and a mini.
driver seemed to be suffering from shock mainly but could of been alot worse if I was 30 secs quicker this morning.

Must have picked up my invisibility jacket by mistake this morning, first a woman turned from a sidestreet on my right into my path, even a very loud yell didn't phase her, just carried on.
Then a darwin candidate paperboy cycling on the pavement decided to cross to the other side of the main road without even a glance
And i overslept slightly so rushed out no doubt forgetting some essential item.

Lovely run in. Managed off-road section without putting a foot down. New V8 pedals okay so far but one seems to have some slack somewhere - need to investigate. Getting faster too. Rabbit ran straight in front of me without looking
