One of my overdue reports is for a 600km Audax from Blackpool to Glasgow and back again (starting at 10pm on a Friday just to make things interesting). There’s lots to say about that experience I’m sure but with only one manned control all evidence of passing was in the form of receipts which also coincides with buying food !
So it struck me that this makes almost an entire record of what I ate on that ride so here’s the occasionally filthy truth of the matter:

Myfitnesspal reckons the logged garmin data comes to around 20,000 calories and whilst I think most things overestimate a lot here I did spend the next days eating all things in sight 🙂
