The looks on peoples faces!

Apparently according to my cow-orkers I've entered a new level of madness by switiching to singlespeed recently

Indeed, I am riding fixed at the moment and I get "How do you get up hills" My answer is either "This is Suffolk, we haven't got any"
or "I just pedal harder"

Today my lunch consisted of
1 of each Apple, Orange & Banana. A Jordan's fruit bar, a small pack of crisps, a kit kat and a milky coffee with sugar (only coffee I have all day) and that does me fine until din dins at about 7.30pm.

Lunch is less important to me than breakfast and the evening meal. I usually have a salad and a sandwich. If the wind's strong, I may need a KitKat or something on the way home, but usually I'm fine eating less than what most of my car-commuting collegues eat for lunch.

Normal stuff. nothing special.

I may eat a nana at around 4.30 sometimes

My workmates all used to make the lycra jokes, but now they seen how trim and muscular i am (I cheat a lot by weightlifting as well as cycling) and how well i fill a pair of tights the blokes have fallen silent and the chicks have promoted me to number one in the officer man-totty rankings. Or so I like to think

I look at some of them my age and they're only one step away from being old men already. I'll be screwed if I'm going to let myself go like that, and every commute staves off old age for another day.

LOL was speaking to a fellow cycling commuter this morning. I see him a few times in the mornings as he lives near me. He was asking how far is my commute. I said 21 miles. He said that Orpington To Greenwich is not that far. I said no it's only 12 miles. I like a little extra every morning.
He just looked at me and called me a loony.

Well...to be fair...he *was* right.

Loon

(says me taking tours of Hyde park ...snigger)

I was just curious about diet.
I have 2 butties and that's it. I play football on the fields at lunchtime which is surprisingly knackering what with wearing boots/shinpads, running non-stop, slide tackling etc. I am pretty hungry when I get back home.

......and I was fortunate to have two good days of weather yesterday.

Am I the only one who thought this was a bit odd?

Am I the only one who thought this was a bit odd?

No, I was too polite to mention it

Oh, woops. Well you know what I mean.

Like others, I do 5 miles each way and am met with looks of astonishment from colleagues, particularly if it's raining. This morning I announced that I was soon to do 100 miles in a day and the bacon sandwich fell out of my boss's mouth.

Today I ate..

Lunch: Pasta with chicken, BLT sandwich, packet of crisps, 3 mr Kipling angle slices and a kitkat chunky.

I will often get a pasta dish with a sandwich, or 2x sandwiches or a sandwich + a salad or a lasagne from this cafe around the corner.

I eat a lot
