Well its been a funny old day when I started out I was all is it a LS Jersey or a SS Jersey day so I went for a LS Jersey which gave me chance to try out the LS Altura Team Jersey I bought the other day. By the time I got to Ripon I was thinking I should have gone for the SS Jersey option but as I was going up into them there hills when I got there I was glad I was dressed as I was, it was a bit windy. The jersey performed great it is very very wind resistant so I was nice and warm.

Ended up doing 100.54 miles and 4,244 ft of climbing.

I have been progressing with trying different climbing techniques, when I went up Lofthouse (a big hill) this time I was hardly out of breath and even when I was I recovered much quicker on the in between bits. Usually when I go up there my lungs and heart try to escape out of my chest so that is a definite improvement

Is that after taking tips from that book or just better fitness due to the amount of cycling you have been doing ?

Not yet, our main holiday next year will either be walking round Lake Lucerne, or walking in Iceland. I might try to squeeze a diving outing somewhere in the Med later in the year. Otherwise diving will be confined to Plymouth and a quarry just outside Leicester

Well I am not sure I have been experimenting with my diet as well over the past week and I don't seem to need al much food as I did a few weeks ago to go a long way.

Today I have

Porridge with a sliced Banananananananananana on it for breakfast
1 x Bananananananana
1 x Apple
Boost Bar - on the ride
Scrambled Egg and Bacon on Toast and a Pot of Tea - Lunch
Toffee Crisp - on the ride

Quarter of a bag of Haribo
1 Bottle of Lucozade
3 Bottles of water with SIS Zero Tab x 2 in each

Which I don't think is that much for a 100 mile ride, usually I would have had another food stop and also a cake on my lunch stop.

Crikey, i don't normally have breakfast and just take lots of fluids but then i only go up to 70 miles at the mo and i have just started to appreciate stopping for tea and cake it will be a continuing theme.

Changing the subject completely but there is a good thread going elsewhere regarding 80s music. How do i upload a You Tube video onto here ?

I was taught that a pink gin sets you up for the day

That explains a lot .................. HIC .................

Now you are talking. Or a Gin Sling and a throw of the nuts behind you, if you happen to be in Raffles that is.

Anything Gin based and i'm there, my mum always said it would be the ruin of me

Actually you have just reminded me of one of my English Literature teachers, Miss Haverstock. We found a half drunk bottle of Beefeater in her drawer one day. English Lit was my favourite subject, perhaps thats where i got the liking for Gin from. Funnily enough Beefeater is my favourite to this day.
