Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I advise partake but small portions. Think "Southern Tapas."

Down the road, what do you want more? The extra work to get down to where you want to be, or some short term goodness that will satisfy you for about an hour.

When it comes to food I try to just make the best choice for any situation that I am in, and to not over eat.
I try to do some form of activity everyday. Cycling is the goal. Lifting weights comes in second. I count my steps, so 12,000 comes next. And if none of those happen, Hopefully I did something productive that day.

I'm not so much worried about overeating in this situation. I'm more worried about how the greasy stuff is going to sit with me going through tomorrow morning.

Understand, but eating healthy vs wanting some deep fried goodness, is the start of a good path to be on. If you think the food is so ~bad~ as to mess with your ride tomorrow, you have to ask how ~good~ it really is.

Both of the kids ordered chocolate chip pancakes at First Watch this morning. Neither finished, so I got in my RDA of butter and syrup.

Lots of people leaving at 11am this morning. Wishing I was one of them.

But it's payday and I am buying myself a new MTB frame

I hate eating that early. Any time there is a potluck here at work it's at 1st shift's lunch at 10:30. I rarely participate.

I very much enjoy taking my lunch well over half-way through my shift.

Grease is the word. It's got groove, it's got meaning.

The rest of the week, you'll be all over the salad and white meat type stuff of some kind.

I had waffles this morning. At home. Butter and maple syrup. I am not averse to mixing heated, frozen berries into the syrup.

The wife is heading to Belize tomorrow, and asked for a set of blocks for our friend's litle boy. I Put the crosscut sled on the tablesaw and popped them out. To sand them I dug out some sanding discs I inherited from my dad. The kind that go on a rubber disc fastened to the drill. Looking for the grit number I noticed a thing that blew my mind. Made In Norway. Norway. High quality stuff. I sanded steadily for an hour and the initial 120 disc is ready for more. I pushed the button to allow the drill to run continuously, and now can't get it to release. Drat
