  1. I like the canister bag, if I get one do I have to grow a beard and drink coffee?
  2. We just had this for dinner and it was really good. We did add some sugar to tone down the tomato and our own cheese sauce, but it was good. https://ohsheglows.com/2017/11/10/cheesy-lentil-bolognese-casserole-celebrating-9-years/ If you’re a nachos person I also made good nachos with 2 types of beans mixed into the salsa which was also good. Update on our progress, we seem to have settled into meat free meals 3 to 4 days of the week.
  3. That’s the thing, I was listening to the commentary on the Tour de La Provence and they were saying that one of the riders had been out a little bit before to scout the stage on his fancy race bike and with a bar bag. I’m sure he wasn’t trying for a PB or anything that day, but it still sounded like an odd combo and something that’s apparently becoming more common. To be honest, I’m okay with people doing pretty much whatever makes them happy(within reason). It just seems odd because it’s contradictory; but all power to them.
  4. This (along with the limited budget) is why I just ride a couch, slightly heavy, slightly aero and the legs must do the rest.
  5. Yeah this new trend of bar bags amuses me a little. People bang on about aero and how the biggest gains are at the front of the bike, and then o goes a bag *confused*.
  6. As with all shows with questionable characters it soon started to work on me.
  7. I paid when they started racepass, and I’ve been nothing but happy. The new content is right up my alley too.
  8. It’s been a very cold and windy week, with more to come apparently [emoji52] so something about a pretzel in Watopia was the order of the day (with a few extra km added on)... it was quite nasty I have to say.
  9. I’m not one for fighting sports, but the outcome of a fight between two such as these could be interesting.
  10. The one before that though [emoji58]
  11. Sometimes being retrenched can be a blessing, but as for being forced out that’s just @€-ish! Either way, good luck, and please don’t go off a bridge. I know this must suck for you but that’s not the way.
  12. Not a TV show , but the BTS of filming Danny’s latest madness [emoji3] It seems even steeper from here https://youtu.be/8IdwtKlXZB8
  13. Checkpoint of some sort? If you see it before summer then you’re doing well, the wait on some bikes is crazy long already.
  14. Sweet potato and bean quesadillas tonight
  15. I must shamefully admit that the MTB doesn’t get a wash often, I guess I see it as the rough and tough bike, but the Diverge I feel like I have to wash. #shameful
  16. Doing it in summer isn’t so bad, but standing outside when it’s 1 degree and washing a bike is pure misery.
  17. But then there’s the washing of the kit and bike [emoji52] I was out in the rain and mud yesterday, it was bearable and then I got home.... I undressed in the empty bath, mud everywhere as I peeled off the shoe covers, washed the outer layers and showered with my bib tights; I washed the bike today. I do not enjoy the cleanup.
  18. Too much stressing about food types, quantities etc etc can really curb the enjoyment thereof and make it a real pain. I definitely won’t analyse things that much, life’s too short [emoji1]
  19. I was reading about how much protein one needs and how that might look broken down into portions over the course of a day, and I don’t think I was eating that much protein all this time even when I was eating meat. I’m a little shocked to be honest and I think I’m going to have to try and keep track of it for a while (which just seems like a massive pain in the ass).
  20. This arrived today, keen to get reading and get a little more info on finding a balance and some ideas.
  21. I’m a bit disappointed, I won’t lie. [emoji52]
  22. I’m not sure if it’s the tyres or the legs but he looks ragged in a few spots
  23. It looks like the race for the win is done, which is a pity, but I suppose a random mechanical [emoji3541] might change it.
  24. The gap is big now, perhaps only a mechanical will let him back in.
  25. WvA looked to struggle in that sand section climbing off twice
