Return to Wedges Bakery

Had a relaxing 39 mile bike ride with The Tashe & Col Headset today to the wonderfull Wedges Bakery, hadn't been out for a bike ride since last Sunday due to crap weather midweek. Gave me a chance to test out the Decathlon nougat bars I bought last week, verdict are they aren't bad and not too sweet.

 

The highlight of the ride was tea and cake at our favourite Wedges Bakery, discovered their Toffee Muffins are awesome - 10/10 top marks!

Have only covered 323 miles so far this year and hoping most of the crap weather and minus temps are behind us... cant help but think there's more to come though...

First Post & Aptonia Protein Bars

Not working today but not cycling either because it is raining booo!!

So off to gym for a hour for a spot of treadmill running amongst other things to knacker my legs out :)

Upon my return I decided to try out one of Decathlon's Aptonia Protein Bars (Vanilla and Brownies flavour), turns out they are one of the nicest recovery bars I have ever tasted! Will definately be purchasing a few more boxes later in the year for a quick bite at the end of various events (Ride London, Questars Adventure Race etc...)

Bar Stats (per bar):
162 Cals
4.9g fat (saturates 2.9g)
Carbs 19.2g (of which sugars 11.8g)
Fibre 0.8g
Protein 11.2g
Salt 0.08g

Not as much protein content as other bars (CNP for example have 18g protein) but these taste much nicer and work out cheaper per bar, plus there's nothing wrong with doubling up and scoffing 2 bars after long hard rides.

£3.69 for a box of 5 (73p per bar)
