Great FBG after a rest day, yeah boys are so different than girls, so much more active & more adventurous, they see no danger, hope you all enjoyed the climbing wall, sounds like fun
Seems like eating more carbs around exercise is the way to go, want to go on longer bike rides but need to figure out how to fuel for it, I’ll have to keep experimenting
Having a rest day today
Going round the cycle shops at Oakham today, pub lunch & walk round the reservoir
Enjoy the weekend

Didn’t stop raining yesterday & still raining now
