Last longish ride before DD2009. Back to the Poppy field on the way round, as cycling- buddy wanted to see it. A pretty muddy affair this time after the heavy rain.

Managed slightly further today (37 miles). Next week, I really need to do a 60 miler as my last serious workout before the DD on 4th July…
Again, cycling through Cambridgeshire villages that I had hardly seen before, was a great few hours. And the first Poppy fields I remember seeing for a few years.

At the start of this weekend, I told myself I had only three more longish rides before the 120 mile Dunwich Dynamo .. My plan was that I should do at least 40 miles. So I left my house after it stopped raining at ~10:30am, and told my family I’d be back in 2 hours for lunch. I thought I had cycled pretty hard, and when I got back was convinced that I must have just about achieved my target. However, when I checked on Bikley.com , it turned out I had only done about 26 miles!! I am beginning to think the 120 miles in 4 weeks time may not be a walk in the park….

This time, I visited cycling-buddy’s with daughter on the tag-a-long. A bit closer, and a lighter snack meant that I didn’t feel quite so tired after the ride. Really effient way to train pulling one of these tag-a-longs.

I find it really astonishing how a bike can be sold for £500, yet have tires that get punctures readily just from the normal small bits of grit that gathers at the edges of the road! After suffering 3x punctures in just under a week from said grit, I decided to buy a pair of puncture resistant tires… I then found it astonishing how it can be so difficult in this day-and-age to put new tires on a bike! There was blood gathering under my thumbnails from the force I had to use to get the last bit of tire onto the rim… oh well, hopefully no punctures for a few years now.

With my new found confidence from my newly fitted puncture resistant tires, I decided to cycle to a friends garden lunch party with my daughter on her tag-a-long. Really, I’m sure that cycling 20 miles like this is equivalent to a 60 mile ride without my daughter tagging along. Was shattered when I got back…. although maybe the sumptuous 10 course meal, and bottle of wine preceding the ride back had something to do with that.

You’ve heard of Special Fried Noodles & Rice before. Well, today I had a flash of inspiration. Why not ‘Special Fried Chips’? Seriously I’ve never seen this before, but it was great. This particular version is ‘Demi-Vegetarian Special Fried Chips’. Demi-vegetarian as the Chinese XO sause I used contains crustacean products:
Will surprise future visitors with this I think (although I’ve spoiled the surprise a little by posting it here). A very rewarding meal, especially after having to walk 4 miles home with my daughter, after getting a puncture on my bike whilst towing her on her new tag-a-long…

While fixing a puncture today, I noticed a really bizarre warning on my rims. Think I’ll have to limit my cycling from now on…
