After my testing the knee ride so cycling is ok. Running not so much, probably time to get the knee supports on again.

Comrade Boris is cancelling all Christmas plans… I was suppose to be in the English Lakes for a few days camping and hiking but that’s not happening now so it’s stay at home activities…… 🤔

The Rapha Festive 500 it is then.

But first… rest the body, get some work done and relax

This is what that looks like:

Eating well

Start the day with a proper meal!
  • Sourdough toast
  • Avocado
  • Crushed pumpkin seeds
  • Vegan sausages
  • Poached eggs

OMG…. this could be the best thing I make! Well it’s certainly my favourite breakfast to make.

Evenings eating

🤤
  • Wheat tortillas
  • Vegan mince
  • Oinion
  • Pepper
  • Mushroons
  • Jalapeños
  • Lettuce
  • Guacamole
  • Skin on fries
  • Sweet potatoes fries

Finish the day with home made vegan delights!

Evenings treat

A wee dram to warm the cockles!
  • Single malt
  • Cups made of horn!
  • Awesome!

And enjoy a warming drink….

Skol!!

Today was suppose to be a huge 💯 mile ride to celebrate the winter solstice.

Leeds based bikepacking kit company Restrap posted a Strava Century challenge, and being a Strava wan&£r I wanted that badge.

But the nasty pain in my knee running on Friday said no! And I’m hiking up a mountain next week so beat not push it.

So a nice cold ride up and down the Chevin (big-ish) hill in North Leeds was a reasonable substitute.

No knee pain to speak of so it’s an impact issue rather than a movement & pressure issue I think.

Cycling it is until the Christmas get away.

If you happen to be in Leeds at the right and hungry for some truly delicious food then I can thoroughly recommend eating at Punk Vegan. Links these guys food was awesome.

But ya can’t eat out every day, so inspired by the punk vegan “Nude Burrito 🌯 “ I decided to make my own… none nude version.

What’s in it I hear you ask?

  • Meat free mince, mixed with Fajita seasoning and bbq sauce
  • ice gem lettuce
  • Lime and coriander rice pack
  • Onion
  • Peoper
  • Mushroom
  • Spring onion
  • Tortillas
  • Skin on potatoes and sweet potatoes
  • Jalapeños and chilli flakes
  • Guacamole

Now it was soo good… like I ate too much at once and had to have a lie down soo good.

Totally Vegan, most healthy and my god delicious!

Make it yourself it’s great food, kids loved it, e

Even the wannabe carnivore approved!
