All comments duly noted, lots of helpful advice.

BUT I GOTTA SHARE WITH YOU............... only seven days on and I have clocked up 48 miles!

I was seriously getting concerned I would not be fit enough to ride in the London Bikeathon on the 19 July but that should be no problem.

On another thread, some helpful TE member mentioned an extremely good book to get Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook. I tracked down a used copy on Amazon for only $6.84 and it's brilliant also in superb condition. No, I am not a sports person as such but it explains everything so well for me. In all honesty, my knowledge of all that sort of thing is crap, so I now read this book making copious notes.

It's funny how being ill can make you better??????
