secret recipe

Just got back from a fantastic and fast ride out from home. I managed to cover 36km in just less than 2hrs and I felt great, I could of had more I'm sure and I'm certain it was my pasta concoction I knocked up for tea.

I knew all day at work that for some reason I was on for a bigger than usual Tuesday night ride, there was just something niggling all day and I was eager to get out on the bike.

My idea was to get home then straight out on the bike. So home it was, changed and banana consumed...then...this is where the plan changed, I decided to spend more time with my son and have my tea first. The wife already tucking into her culinary delights left me stranded in the kitchen looking for possible ingredients. A pasta dish it was to be, laden with veg and (this is what I believe to be the secret and trail busting ingredient) chorizo sausage...oh it was a delight!! Anyway, as simple as that, and all topped off with a chilli tomato sauce. It worked for me anyway!

The route:> Ackworth > Wragby > Haw Park Wood > Old Royston > Newmillerdam > Secker Wood > Newmillerdam again > Walton > Crofton > Ackworth

Mountain Mayhem 08

Well, I am struggling to find time to write up on this amazing event due to house move, family commitments, work, continual biking, etc, etc

so in the meantime have a read up on what went on at Big Al's blog, a very well written report which truly captures the moment...the 24hr long moment!

Also, some excellent photo's to be found here.
