strong and stable with me, or...
Cor blimey that's a level of discipline I couldn't get close too, and that's just the salad bit.
How do you keep your head out of the fridge?

It's not easy. I can't tell you how much I look forward to the next day's toast. But it works.

Me too. I would be unbearably grumpy if I didn't eat.

I've just had my fish and salad. Gorgeous.
Really looking forward to tomorrow's toast!

Id eat at least 3 days food the next day making it all rather counterproductive.

Now you've done it.
I've got a garminge2, my mate an 8. We've done identical rides before and his elevation is greater than mine. On Sunday, I did an extra hill and still his elevation was greater. Its a right old cake and and arse party.
Very excited just put a deposit on a new bike, Colnago Ace 105 2013, it's an ex demo bike so hefty discount and upgraded wheels. I have never had a full carbon bike before, it seems incredibly light and the test ride was amazing. can't wait to get hold of it.

Know what you mean [MENTION=3858]Motogull[/MENTION], but if we're all working together totting up the elevation to complete the summits it doesn't really matter.
Then again those with the most productive readings could always volunteer to complete the highest ascents !
Anyway, just an idea for Stat to think about next time he's chasing his pro mate's backside up a climb

My missus is a pastry chef so rather than bananas, chocolate brownies are my on bike snack. Puts some weird Peruvian maca powder in it, it's like rocket fuel sometimes.

I did this 5-2 diet but tbf I can do days where I don't eat much but on the day I tried it I went mad with hunger. ..something about blueberries not filling me belly! Toast with peanut butter for me.
Columbian marching?
Yeah, the Holland and Barrett version.
Hit a patch of ice and had a minor off on the way to work. I haven't got a scratch, and the bike looks fine, but the rear derailleur wasn't indexing correctly for the rest of the journey. So, my project for lunchtime is to re-index the gears.

Ooh you lucky thing!... a job with 4 hour lunch breaks and where swearing is allowed too - wish I had one of those. Good luck

That's a bummer. Hope its a simple fix.

2 minute job - crash pushes it in so just wiggle the rear mech around a bit then turn the adjustment clockwise a bit!
Thanks all - I don't think I could have avoided this morning's off, but it has caused me to have a rethink about tyres. I'm still on 23mm wide tyres whilst the rest of the world seems to have moved onto 25mm wide. I'm at the point where the tyres almost need replacing anyway, so am open to suggestions - does it really make a difference? Someone the other day was telling me that 25mm wide tyres are just as fast, but give a much more comfortable ride.
