50k of dirt roads - first 16k in general upward direction - was rewarded with a couple of pizzas and a glass or 2 of wine at Di Lusso Estate in Mudgee. What a great day for a ride!

It's true when you are getting in the Ks food is just a fuel that is burnt up at a great rate of knots. I have had different things going on and haven't been able to even ride to work and have found that I'm putting on weight. I have been managing portion size (not well but I have good intentions). so its only 1.5kg but it has not even been a week. Cycling is really a great way to keep trim. And beat that thigh rubbing when you run.

Russell;
I don't know where you live
but I'm coming to visit !
Kidding.
The knee is 'better' for 2 days of rest: which the rest of me HATED !
Unbelievably; I suspect, having ridden my usual 50k's to & from work today & finding it blissful to be back in the seat,
I may, MAY, just give the knee another couple of days rest, as I have the next 2 days off too.
Sometimes, a bizarre-ass roster can work in ones favour.

Having lost about 2kg over the last week (I don't know why)
I suspect I may be about to pack it back on. . . . . . .
have twisted my right knee &, though I hate it, have promised myself NOT to ride the bike on my 2 days off.
Funny thing: even with the 'dodgy' knee, I made the 20klm ride home last night in 37mins !
Have been into the red wine & chocolate to compensate.
Which will only be made worse drinking beer whilst watching the Bledisloe Cup match tomorrow night.

Russell Conchie on Saturday, 06 August 2011 11:57Hi Robert, bummer about the knee. As for the red wine and chocolate, have I got those bases covered with a wife who is a wine maker and a mate who is managing a coco plantation in Vanuatu.
