Training: Body Pump / Bike 34km
1. Body Pump is a wonderful way to start the weekend.
2. However, accepting Mr BBB’s offer to join him and his 3 fit mates for a mountain bike ride afterwards may not be the wisest thing to do. For my legs at least.
3. If I am going to join Mr BBB and his mates for a ride, it would be a good idea to enquire how far they plan to ride. Otherwise, a ‘short’ ride could turn into 3+ hours on the bike!
4. It would also be a good idea to enquire where they intend to ride. That way, it is not as shocking when you are climbing your 15th hill.
Some more sealed than others…
And some that leave you positively exhausted!
5. Takeaway dinner is a must when your legs are dead, your tummy is rumbling, and it is 6.45pm.
Particularly when vegetables and rice noodles are involved. And gatorade. And it is eaten out of the container while standing over the sink to avoid getting your chairs dirty…pure class ;)
Because, after all, eating is a higher priority than showering after 3+ hours on the bike.
6. But the best way to end an unexpected day of adventures, is a cool bath and big bowl of ice-cream. Now that is a good lesson learned!

Happy Baking :)

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI was just mentioning the value of eating icecream on a hot day, but went one better and made your fabulous spinach salad. Now I've cooled down and I feel virtuous :)
Body Pump then a mountain bike ride - you're made of tougher stuff than me (nice work BTW!)
Cheers
Liz ;)
That is amazing - we use to go on fantastic bike rides (not that far though :) ), really miss it.
ReplyDeletethat must have been killer, you will sleep well tonight!

what a ride!
ReplyDeleteHowever, here in Canada I'll take a hot bath and a bowl of hot soup :)
I was going to try Body Pump for the first time this morning, but I'm too lazy :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure. I can't wait to get back on the MTB!
ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly got in a workout today. I'm tired enough after doing a session like body bump and certainly couldn't handle a 3 hr bike ride - with hills, esp. in the heat we've been having. Besides taking the girls to roller skating lessons I spent the whole day inside - though I did manage to get quite a few things accomplished, exercise was not one of them. I assume you didn't have the 41 deg that we did !
ReplyDeleteWow, what a workout-I'm not sure I would have made it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures. I can't tell you how nice it is to see trees with leaves on them. We have probably three months until spring rolls around and our leaves will sprout!
ReplyDeleteThat noodle dish looks awesome!
Wow... I don't think I've done that much exercise in the past year combined... You're a trooper!
ReplyDeleteOooh that takeout looks delish! I learnedtoday that Meal Planning can be fun and not as hard as I thought!
ReplyDeleteI like the admission of eating over the sink, Good thinking guys!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of mountain biking! Today I learned that sometimes the things that you're dreading turn out to be the most fun.
ReplyDeleteoooh, that dinner looks PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteI just did my first body pump class yesterday and now am in so much pain! It feels like the last time I went horseriding and then got off the horse and nearly fell down cause I couldn't feel my legs..
ReplyDeleteoooh I miss bike riding!! looks like a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteHeidi xo
I stopped riding with my brother & his mates years ago...., same reason :) Love the classing eating though :)
ReplyDeleteLOL you are too funny. And yes eating does have priority over showering when the food is delicious!
