Following on from Mondays starved abandonment to the ride I packed a cake in my bag on Wednesday morning and set myself a reminder to eat it with some coffee 15 minutes before heading off for a planned 30 mile ride. I could feel the sugar and caffeine rush flowing through my veins as I headed off from work just gone 4pm but made sure I took it easy as the 12% and 15% climbs at the 2 mile mark and 5 mile mark could easily sap all my energy if attacked at full pace. I took a route I have covered a few times before as wanted to see how the performance would compare. In short the coffee and cake made a huge difference, I felt good all the way round and knocked 1 minute 29 seconds of the previous personal best for the route.
