Tea? (Part 2)

[phil_hg_uk]

Great going Phil, did you have to ride around the block to clock the 100?

I stopped off at the chinese on the way home and while that was been made I did a quick circuit of the neighbourhood to get me to 99. something then made up to 100 on the ride home

Can't stop eating today I am starving

What is it about round numbers like that? I'm just the same As a lad I used to go round and round the cul de sac to get my ticker type milometer (you have to be fairly aged to remember those) to a round number of miles - no tenths allowed!

You deserve the nosh - it's your body saying "We are going to do that again aren't we? So I better stock up."

So here - a large cuppa and some of Mrs 26x25's cup cakes. Oooh OOOOPS sorry no cup cakes left (* Burp *)

 

[phil_hg_uk]

Yes I had to do that bit extra I would not have been a happy bunny at 98.something.

Good point I never thought of it like that, I didnt think it would have that effect but I guess it's just craving fuel. Which means I need to get out on my bike more

Thanks for the tea and the cake

TSBTF I take it that Mrs TSBTF is feeling better if she is making cup cakes.

Would she like to make some more tomorrow?

Ah yes thanks Speicher . She seems to be fully recovered although she did decline to dance at Saturday evening's Club Do. I think that was caution rather than anything
As for cup cakes - she says its my turn now . I'll see what I can do. But be warned - Bike Ride then Cold Frame building tomorrow might leave not enough time.

I've been stocking up since last August ready for my next big ride

still waiting but I'm nicely stocked now

August will soon be upon you potsy. I suppose I will now just have to bake some cup cakes tomorrow for you and Speicher. Can't have you wasting away before August. Not sure what Speicher's excuse is tho'.

 

[Arch]

I find after a really long ride, I'm too exhausted to eat!

It goes a bit like:

Nicely tired - will cook proper dinner. (or might be bothered to go out for takeaway)
Very tired - may revert to supernoodles and cup a soup, or toast.
Very very tired - bowl of cereal
Very very very tired - spreadeagled on the bed, moaning...

My next big ride is on the 27th of this month, 100+ miles

with a slightly hillier 60 miler on the 20th, I think the cup cakes are coming just in time

Arch is right though, long ride and I don't feel particularly hungry afterwards, thirsty yes as I probably don't drink enough whilst riding, must remember to drink more next time.
Oh and 'spread-eagled' on the bed is tonights image

Are you getting your activites muddled there Arch?

Oh i though I had accidentally logged into a different forum for a minute

The tea thread does get quite 'adult' sometimes Phil, especially when Arch and Speicher are involved

Must be something in the water

As opposed to being very silly when Potsy is involved?

Whoops! Don't have nightmares!

After my first 100 miler, I hurt all over (it was on an upright) and barely got upstairs. I thought I was going to have to sleep sitting on the bottom step of the stairs until I got the strength to tackle two flights. That was a spreadeagled on the bed occasion.

Coming back from Scarborough last year I bonked (quiet at the back there!) at Pocklington (about 108 miles done, with 20 to do) and did wonder if it would be easier to move to Pocklington so that I'd be home already. Fortunately, completely by chance, someone I knew walked past as I sat in the trike outside the Coop, and hearing that I was knackered, took me back to her house for a cuppa, which perked me up no end. That night, I managed cereal.

See what I mean?

My 1st (and only) hundred, I was cycling on willpower alone by the 90 mile mark, if it wasn't for a very kindly riding companion (bromptonfb) I would have laid down and died by the roadside, he coaxed me, took me to Maccy D's for a coffee and a rest and eventually got me to ride up the steep hills back to his house, where he then plied me with tea until I was ready to move again

I was certainly in no fit state to do any bonking though, you must have a lot more stamina Arch
