I like the dark chocolate variety. On occasion I challenge my grandson to see who can eat a Tunnocks Teacake the fastest by biting all the chocolate off the dome without getting a dab of the filling on the end of your nose. 😁

Not warm here for a bit and the streets are wet. They will be dry by noon so a little ride would be nice. The wind is from the north today and north is downhill from my house so coming up hill will be fairly easy. Supposed to snow most of tomorrow so that will be grocery and upper body day. Nice pics, ColinJ.
Yesterday I made oat and quinoa granola but it was a little too done. Next time I will cook it less. The quinoa should ramp up the protein a bit. Another try or two and I will have it down. Being pre-diabetic there will be no kit kat bars for me but a chocolate chip pecan cookie every once in awhile is hard to deny.
The farthest I have ever ridden would be a little over 50 miles. When the weather is nice I like 20 mile rides maybe 5 days a week. It is enough to where I feel I have done something but still have energy for my chores. When there is snow and wind the rides are much shorter. 2-3 hours a day for riding, stretching, core etc suffices. My sense is that you folks prefer much longer rides, perhaps less frequently. I feel like I am an old car that requires a lot of time spent on maintenance. Oh well, it is use it or lose it.
Be safe and well.

That would be "Sheep of colour" now, if you please
... and... no speculating about what colour the lamb's fleece might be....

He thought he had a watertight guarantee that the show would be broadcast on ITV for 100 years, but it came with strings attached...

Re: winter wimpiness...
I used to put loads of clothing on and just get on with riding. The thing is, I didn't really worry much about slippery conditions. For example, on this ride...
Note the carefully reversed CycleChat 'buff'. I didn't want to give that Shaun bloke free advertising for his forum...
Since then though I have crashed rather heavily on black ice a couple of times. I got away without injuries, but it would be really easy to break a hip in that kind of spill. I really don't want to risk that!
Doing the ride pictured above was a bit foolish. As you can see behind me, the hilltop lane had slushy snow still on it and I had a 15% twisting descent to do on the way home. I would have had no chance if I had encountered ice on a bend on the way down...
A couple of other photos from further on before (hopefully!) forgetting winter for the next 7 or 8 months:
PS Where did I put that buff? I haven't seen it for about 4 or 5 winters now!

Looks nice
We camped west at a place called Goran Haven......very nice.
There is a pub there called the Llawnroc (Cornwall spelled backwards).
