I only do 7.5 miles each way to an adult class at college, normally. Today was not normal - I left the key for my lock on the table and only realised after 2 miles... I get the same - you can't cycle that far response. When I point out that I cycled from the UK to the top of Norway, Nordkapp, down to Athens and on into Turkey last year, the response changes...
Despite that my mother is still kicking up a fuss about me cycling to my grandfather's 90th birthday meal tomorrow. 21 miles each way... Apparently I need to arrive with enough time to have a shower at her place! and am I going to be able to cycle home again after the meal?
Today's best question was about the muck thrown up off the roads when cycling (mostly passed the salt mines) as I was wiping my face down at the time, "isn't it yucky?", "much preferable to baby puke" nodding towards her shoulder...
Oh and lunch - none. Class does not finish until 1pm and by the time I have changed and cycled home it is 2pm by which time I find I have missed that 12pm slot for lunch and just have a drink... breakie on the otherhand is homemade smoothie with plenty of ground seeds, ground nuts, ground porridge oats, soya yoghurt and fruit all thrown in with some sugar...
