My main problem when cycling is I cannot eat the energy bars and hate the rubbish you can buy on the market to keep you going. I quite like the idea of knowing the ingredients in stuff I eat. As a rule I don't think you should eat anything that has ingredients that you cannot ask a child to spell.
So today I am going to be Mary Berry and make my own....
So here's hoping for no leakage or soggy bottoms....
Paul & Mark thank you so much for donating to the charities, you get first dibs on them, as long as they are edible.
