What to eat & drink: London to Cambridge

[vickster]

@jefmcg I also scoffed some haribo jelly babies and don't forget the fueling power of two (?) lattes

Bin the jar and spoon when you get to London

Peanut butter on toast before you set off . A bottle of water and a banana for the ride . Cold beers in the fridge for when you get home and a nice meal ready to go .
Sunday looks like its pissing down all day .

Well, it certainly rained. Breakfast pre-ride to the ride, if you follow, was mountain of Shredded Wheat accompanied by a very stiff black coffee. At 4am, I simply couldn't be arsed to do more than pour and eat.

I tooled up with four SIS Gels, a banana and a couple of bottles of SIS electrolyte drink. This was probably a good idea with hindsight, as it was that danged wet, packaging could have become an issue. I felt tip-top and up for it all day. Even when the spirit flagged as the first trickle of water caressed my nut-sack 18 miles in, the legs never felt like they were going to give up. Indeed, I set a Strava segment PB on the way home from the ride. Given how utterly, utterly soaked I was, I was not expecting that, especially since my longest ride to date was 32 miles and today totaled 76.

Rain legs are worth it...

Well done, though!
