There's a thing on GCN that explains cycling diet/weight loss etc.
It's thoroughly depressing.

Something along the lines of:-

Ride for 3 hours + frothy coffee + cake = weight gain! :facepalm:

Think about riding for 3 hours (but don't) + frothy coffee + cake = weight gain.

I have been a test guinea pig for this and can confirm it is a fact.

Resolutely commuting by bike is actually moving me down the holes on my belt!

I'm just now too knackered to ride for 'pleasure'.

If you didn't just watch San Sebastian, make sure you catch up with it if you can.

Goes some way to putting my TdF Pinot disappointment to bed.

I can only assume none of you have caught up with San Sebastian yet, or else there would be comments on it.

Being in France, I can't. Tell me about it!

I found a video link of the race from exactly where you need to watch it from. Unfortunately it has a spoiler right at the beginning and on the link if I post it here.

If you don't mind a spoiler, I'll post.

I was fortunate enough to watch it live on Eurosport player and have money on the winner. Winning the bet is not the point though, it's the manner of the win and about the rider who won it. Phenomenal stuff in a phenomenal season of cycling so far.

Yes, saw this not long ago. Doesn't seem right to me - have been eating like a horse this year since I've really gotten into my cycling, cream cakes, ice cream, sweets and mounds of roast potatoes. Have lost a stone in the last 4 months.

You don't see many fat cyclists.

Although that's why I've started cycling I guess.

Look for dossard No. 5 pretty much as soon as the video starts. Then be sure to watch all of the video. It's absolutely brilliant!
