afternoon jaunt

I did my 50 mile loop through Garforth, Barwick, Scholes, Thorner, East Keswick, Harewood, Pool,
Otley and back home through Leeds. Got caught in the rain on two occasions one of which was hail,
dried off in between, my rain jacket does not keep me dry just a bit warmer. No stops for beans or
sausages or kumkwat torte or any other ravataillement. Still the Great Cycling God owes me a few
favours now. An enjoyable ride all in all, I seemed to be going pretty well.

Lucky there were two studies then? Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, btw. ;-)

Nah - still not enough🙂

Personally I can't see the point of eating in an unbalanced way as long-term, you'll fail even if
there are no other adverse health implications. One thing about science - just about for every
study showing one conclusion, it's likely sooner or later there'll be another along showing the
exact opposite

How else can poor academics justify their existence? We shouldn't be too harsh. ;-)

Helen,

You might not have enjoyed your bike ride so much today either. I briefly tried the Atkins diet, but
found it left me without much energy and with tired, heavy legs. Not ideal for cycling ):

It's a good feeling when you feel as though you've had a good 'jaunt'.

I did a cool 50 miles today, up to Ealing and back to see brother/wife and nephew. I was able to
maintain a steady cadence all the way, and felt reasonably strong. Three years ago I was on over 20
a day and doing bugger-all exercise. Today I've packed up smoking and can pedal a bit here and
there. Suits
me.

I'm convinced a good night's sleep is as good a preparation as anything to feeling 'capable' when
exercising.

I thought I was - erm - pointing out a discrepancy in your allusion.

Serious point where none intended: Always read the label. Atkins' diet was designed to for those
with an essentially sedentary lifestyle. Modifying it to provide the carbo required for cycling or
whatever is a bit like modifying a detox diet by adding alcohol and coffee.

Me, I swear by the old-fashioned EH diet. It works.

Unfit? How many really unfit people could manage to ride 25 miles? My family would be knackered
doing it in the car! Keep it up and promote the English sausage.
P.S. I was at Fort Bill for the World Cup. It was bib short heaven. You should have been
there. Or not.

Thank you - start off on very short distances & gradually work up. I just love cycling - wouldn't
get me in a gym for love nor money though!

My wife intends to join me on a 30 mile ride next weekend, so hopefully at least one. Mind you, she
has observed that looking after a toddler has made her a lot fitter than she was 6 months ago. Last
weekend she had no trouble with a 16 mile ride, a distance that previously would have been a
challenge.
