Worst thing you could eat while cycling........

DH loves meat pies on long rides.

Just thinking about soggy pastry and minced meat makes me feel ill.

We did a 150km cycle challenge and he stopped for his pie (we were on the tandem). He cames out of the shop with TWO! He ate one and stashed the other in his bento box. 10km along the road he decides to eat the other while riding just as the camera crew on a motorcycle and the host (riding a bike- he's a great cyclist and was drafting the motorcycle to get up to people) arrived from behind and started to interview us while riding. Let's say HE was very surprised about DH's eating habits. I dreaded that this interview would make the TV show and DVD they produced about the race, but thankfully we didn't.

DH was very unhappy at a race he does solo 160km in which his half way pie shop was shut down- it was all part of his race plan. He especially liked riding up a steep hill while eating the meat pie and making the other people slogging it stare. Strange sense of humour DH!

Ever have any problems with latex? My sister has a bad latex allergy and she's been told to avoid bananas and avocado, since all three share the same allergy-triggering chemical.

((snicker)) warm eyeballs ((snicker))

Maybe I'll try hard-boiled egg & banana sandwiches next--that's vegetarian!

No...no latex problems, and I wear latex gloves when searching criminals and such. I don't like avacados. I can have stuff with banana in it, not the same reaction...but a pure banana does it.
