| Remember a couple of weeks ago when I compared packet chips with other products and showed that salmon wasn't that much more expensive, well I got an email stating that you can't snack on salmon at the movies. All in good jest but 100% true. Having gone to the movies I checked out what they had for sale and there wasn't really anything worth eating, but every second person was queuing up and paying absorbent prices. Once again the marketing machine has set new levels, instead of buying your tickets at one location and walking past the junk food, you have to queue with the junk'ies. So what can you do? To avoid the junk counter, some cinemas have online sales, but most of the time you still need to go to the counter and have the junk food in your face. You have 3 options; - Nothing. Do you feel naked without a glass in your hand at a party? Not automatically having a drink is something that takes a little getting use to, but once you have done it, you feel the empowerment of choice and one choice is to take nothing in with you, if you hand feels naked, hold your partners hand.
- BYO. There are plenty of healthy snack options that don't require refrigeration – Nuts (Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts), fruit, the list goes on, at the end of the day you know it.
- Pre fill. Do the movies straight after a meal, you won't feel hungry, so option 1 will be easier.

| This is important, if you want RIDE to be included as an offering along side RPM and Cycle, you need to put in a feedback form requesting it. http://www.indoorcycling.com.au/ There are only 12 qualified instructors in NSW, of which I am one.

| Sweet Chilli Tofu Stir Fry Often this is what I do when I get home late from the gym; Basmati rice in the rice cooker. Why Basmati? Read the nutritional info Go to the fridge and select whatever hard vegetables you have in there, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli etc and an onion,. Cut them up fine putting the hardest in the wok first, using a little oil, giving them a stir every so often. Add a small amount of water if it goes dry, no need for extra oil. Get your softer vegetables, whatever that may be, capsicum, leeks, whatever. Cut them up and put them in. Add some dried or fresh herbs if you have them. A bit of garlic goes down well. Dice the firm tofu into small cubes and coat them with sweet chilli. Put them in the wok and cook for another 2 minutes, mixing every 30 seconds. I bit of fresh Italian parsley in the last 30 seconds can add some colour if desired. How you present it on the plate will greatly enhance how you and your partner appease it. |
| Well next Saturday I'm doing the Grafton to Inverall - Australia's toughest one day road race.
So last week I had a heavy schedule in the lead up, 13 spin classes, 170k bike commuting and 330k for the weekend.
Saturday morning I did the 13th spin class, rode home from the gym and had breakfast, with my mate Mark, who made me brekie while I showered, then we headed off to Bundanoon, we rode back roads to riverwood where we took the motorway to an exit about 10 before Campbelltown, as bikes have been banned from that part of the motorway while roadworks occur. Iced coffee in Macauther, then on to Picton for lunch, where we bumped into to other DHBC (my bike club) riders who were also riding to Bundanoon, but they were just finishing their lunch and left before us. It was pretty obvious that I was tried as Mark marched away from me on the hills and as we got closer to Borwal, the roles changed, Mark was struggling due to his left ITB. We went to the supermarket in Borwal to get denarub and then proceeded at a real slow pace to Bundanoon. I had my clothes strapped in a bag under my seat, while Mark had his in a backpack, so I took his backpack as I didn't want it to distract him from his ITB.
Sunday was the DHBC Imperial fixie century, there were 18 starters for it (plus one driver), but one was pregnant and only intended to ride the first 20k Group Photo Mark had decided to ride half way to Wollongong at a real slow pace. We rode off at a nice semi slow tempo, stopping to wait at the tops of hills and then had to wait forever for someone to fix a flat, I also found out at this point that a cow jumped the fence and chased a rider. Morning tea at Robinson pie shop, the Macquarie pass.
I was screaming down Macquaire Pass, the improvements I had made to my fixie were doing a treat and the pro2race tyres gave me real confidence, I was quicker despite using 78" this year, vs 81" last year, then I went into a 35kph corner at about 50kph and the chain jumped off locking the rear wheel. Luckily I already had the front brake lightly pressed and hit it real hard, washing about 20 off, so I hit the deck at about 30kph, landing on my back.
The injury list is;
- lower back (spine) really sore, there was a monster energy drink (not opened) in my middle pocket
- back of right hip, I crushed my phone
- right shoulder, one of the muscles is complaining a lot
- numerous small grazes, all minor
Took about 15 minutes for a group of us to figure out how to dislodge the chain, in the end I had to place the fixie spanner underneath it and kick it
Rode on to Wollongong at about 20kph, had lunch (including beer) and caught the train home.
In total 8 riders didn't finish the century for various reasons
I'm real sore today, which is not surprising. I had previously culled my spin classes for this week, taking it down to 6, but I've got 3 more covered now, so that reduces it to 3 for this week prior to the Grafton. |
