Captain back with tentative ride on the waves
Big gap so see how we go
Aim for 35 to 40 miles , 16 mph
Chance for lost boys and wounded to return
Weather looks good
Here's a route for the Pirates, Paleos & Physios - The Parrot Seed Ride:
Ashwell, Northfields, Eyeworth, Sutton, Potton, Gamlingay, loop towards St Neots then back to Abbotsley, Gransdens, Croydon ( new Tarmac is now a great descent!), Wendy, Steeple, Ashwell.
35 miles, flat, gentle NW wind behind us on the return home. Sunshine guaranteed.
Lovely conditions today, sunshine all the way & blown back on a gentle breeze.
Bird seed snack at half way worked a treat, Cap'n out of magic potion and on the Lidl power bars- no wonder his form is dropping away. Now gainfully employed as well, so the life of a semi-pro is over!

May be out tomorrow, as not allowed to push myself too hard on the bike.
Inspired by MC, Sgt Pain, Robbie I'm back on the Parrot Paleo, this time under the watchful eye of a nutritionist.
Low-carb, calorie-restricted diet, no booze, plenty of fish, lean meat, vegetables, salads. Common sense.
11 llbs lighter, admittedly mostly water, but felt good today on a gentle, flat 30 miler -no gels, energy bars needed.
See how I feel tomorrow.
Fasting Dutchman
Gentle ride guaranteed
Paleo seed will be enough
See you tomorrow I hope

P.s sprinting dangerous on road approaching Ashwell from Steeple - awful surface with loose chippings!
