Today's Ride

[Wyndbrook]

..but it's not "a diet".. through the warmer months i eat overnight oats for breakfast made with 50% cows milk and 50% coconut milk, chia seeds, turmeric superblend, handful of almonds and pecans with blossom honey.. when the weather turns cold i switch to porridge with pecans, wallnuts, cashews, almonds, raisins and a sprinkling of cacao nibs..I haven't eaten lunch for 15yrs, then i eat an evening meal.. i weigh 11.5st and i'm 5'11"

That burger was delicious, last burger i ate was in Sicily back in August.. which was also delicious, i've never used a food app and the last time i went to Mcdonalds was sometime around 1995.. so please explain to me where i'm going wrong beacuse i'm not a dietition

Sorry not relied earlier, few days being ill and not up to anything. I'm certainly not a dietician or an expert, possibly my wording may have suggested so.
Just to me it doesn't as a meal it does not look appetising, too much protein, just some carbs and nothing else, I'm glad it's a meal you only eat occasionally, too many in our world seem to live on it.
My breakfasts are similar to yours, I also add various berries and some gut beneficial yogurt.

Quick 40km to take the mind off the dog being stuck at the vets. Still some patches of snow around along with lots of frost and ice, fortunately no falls this time.

An image that may be distressing for any fans of classic British cars; bunch of mini coopers, morris minors etc rotting away.

Some better pictures of it towards the bottom of this post https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/pallion-shipyard-car-graveyard-sunderland-march-2022.132628/

Anyone else brave Storm Bert and get out today? Had a break in the rain between 3-4, a rather nice 8c which didn't really make a difference after bombing through flooded lanes combined with 30mph gusts. Muddy, wet and cold but much better than staying indoors!

Definitely gonna have to pick up some winter tyres

No Storm Bret here, but it´s been sunny, muddy, icy, and chilly as well, as I was chasing the sun until I found the snow up in the mountain behind the city...



So when my toes were solid frozen, I returned back home.
Almost 24 km , with 910 m alt and 1:45 hrs.
Cheers.

Not as cold as expected, not in the mood for climbing today, so just down the river...

very cold but no snow

Yesterday was single digit temps, thermal layers, gloves and skullcap yet still frozen to the bone. Today was double digit temps and shorts were more than adequate - ofc still very muddy and partially flooded in some places which made the hour I spent this morning cleaning the bike completely redundant when it ended up covered again within 10 mins of being out

According to the Met Office, the temperatures could be as high as 17°C but the gusts of wind could be as high as 60 miles per hour. Hmmm. I thought I'd try riding in Storm Bert. It might be interesting. A bit of a challenge. I would be careful.

Having done it, I don't recommend it.

With a crosswind whipping over open fields, I was leaning into it by about 10° to stop being blown off course. Riding straight ahead but leaning at a 10° angle works but it's a bit of a slog. Dodging broken twigs, sticks and branches was to be expected. Getting hit by flying twigs was like nature's way of saying 'I'm the boss here'. But Storm Bert's really underhand trick was blowing thorns off the hedgerows: two punctures, one in the back tyre and one in the front.




I rode under this tree on the outbound stretch, keeping a careful eye on it as I thought it looked ready to fall. On the return stretch, it had fallen:

My local park was closed today due to high winds. So I rode off elsewhere muttering about it being an over reaction to a windy day... Anyway, turned out they were probably right after about 10km I got hit on the head by a 'flying' piece of tree, No damage to the bike (or me) thankfully, but I took it as a message to head back to the ranch!

Warm for the time of year, cloudy and very breezy!!!
