Buns of steel!

I went to bed at 9.30 last night as I was shattered following the swim but it was probably the weekends efforts that were still in the system.  I woke at 5am intending to go out for a 1.5 hour bike ride at 5.30am.  I felt rested but couldn't be bothered so I had another 75 mins in bed then had chocolate muffins and tea before my cycle - good energy!!!
As you can tell I wasn't in the mood but needs must so I decided to make the most of the time on the bike and thought through a conference call I have this morning.  Great use of time as I came up with a few angles I hadn't considered before.  That was set aide as I pulled into a B road that had been resurfaced and riding for over a mile on ball bearings certainly keeps your cheeks clenched as your chance of coming off the bike are very high - it's the horrible crunching sound as you go over them that sends a shiver down your spine.  But the benefit is you end up with buns of steel - who needs palates anyway when you can ride a bike and get the same benefits but with fresh air!
Back home for some porridge and decided to have a few more muffins washed down by coffee - now bring on the world, I'm awake and ready!
