Management sponsored riding time...


... but not many carbs in a spicy veggie wrap and pint of tea so I was forced to trundle home feeling decidedly light-headed….

Today I had the benefit of a gap in my formal "return to work plan", otherwise known as the company "get that slacker Mike back behind a desk campaign" so I took full advantage of the wall-to-wall sunshine, completely guilt free (it's a 'management approved' plan :o) with a day out on the bike (surprised…? No, me neither) down west, cruising effortlessly (a handy phenomenon known as a tailwind..) along the empty clifftop roads with a smile plastered across my face. Stopped at my favourite beach café, the one with the nice girls serving... hehe, for lunch and sat in the sun chatting to a couple of war vets and their wives who were having their first reunion after 40 years. Did my bit for improving the image of cyclists - they seemed quite surprised that a skinny bloke in lycra and sunnies didn't mind if they joined the same table. I screwed up with my lunch choice though, not many carbs in a spicy veggie wrap and pint of tea so I was forced to trundle home after that feeling decidedly light-headed…. Just as well I didn't have a beer with my lunch….
