Yesterday I baked “biking cookies” after the recipe I found on the web page belonging to Team Jæren. The url to the recipe is found here http://www.teamjaren.no/2008/hva-skal-du-spise/ (Norwegian). Tried it today when riding Ceresrittet, did the trick. Easy to chew, did not make me cough, and packed with energy. In addition I added flaked coconut and some dried fruit (raisins, mango and such). The picture is not very good, but at least you get a sense of the amount of cookies.
Apart from that, I managed to stay with the rest of the bunch for 20 kilometers, then I lost them. I thought “not to worry, others will soon catch me up so I can ride with them..”…but no! I continued for 50 kilometers all alone, only the last 12 kilometers did I see others, and the last 10 I was able to get help by riding behind others. Anyhow, about 25 minutes behind the winner of my class, that is as expected.
Sun protection cream, who thought of that, I was not going to the beach…
