"George Hincapie fell into a ditch. One Mapei rider just stopped in the breakaway and refused to get back on his bike. The muddied Johan Museeuw went on a 45-kilometre winning break. An unknown Belgian kid called Tom Boonen had his breakthrough ride. Whatever happened to him?”

What are you doing in the bike shed Greppers? Looking for somewhere to store your yoga mat?

So following a good few weeks on the bike where i've been going further and further, i seem to have found a nice, relatively quiet 9 mile loop, which i can get to via 14 or 6.5 mile trip.

So i think in the short term my rides will consist of some loops, i managed the long way out, two loops and the short way back on Saturday, going to aim for three loops on Saturday :-)

When do you guys eat when riding, i realised i'm actually breathing hard enough to make eating difficult ;-)

Any hints or tips?

Ride slower - every ride should not be a slog

When slogging - gels and fluids

OR

nibble things rather than eat huge bites - nibble swallow breathe etc :-)

Thanks Gobi, it came as a surprise to me that I was working so hard, but I did ease up a bit, I've also learned I need two bottles on my bike :-)
