Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper!!! You need decent blood sugar levels to train hard, so I eat well in the morning, you do not need 2l coke, steak and chips to recover! I still weigh what I did in high school despite popping three babies. I have no control over wrinkles and all the other things that come with getting older, but I have the final say over the size of my bum!

Watch your diet, but what really worked for me was changing from a few long slow rides (2 hr plus) to doing more shorter (1.5hr less) rides at a really high intensity. I broke through my plateau. Resist the post ride pang to annihilate anything in the fridge and have a glass of cold milk instead. Awesome for recovery and keeps the calories in check!

The girls held their own.....

Oooops!.........Straighten handle bars..........Back on the bike!

Survived to race another day!

This happened today at the XCO at Pmb. He took a nasty knock to the head, and after taking a few moments to come round, managed a smile for the crowd. Hats off to these guys and girls, this is not for sissies!

I also found one that openly offered to undervalue the the bike ( to the minimum allowed) to save the customer from paying excess customs tax! Honesty rules!

It is shocking how blatant the market is for fake bikes! It took two minutes on Aliexpress to find dozens of pinarellos for sale. Anywhere between 500 and 800 US dollars each. Even Specialized S works, now called V Works.
