Slow Rides For Unfit People - Rutland ROAD Ride Sun 9th Sept

Frostys

@ Caz was thinking June July time

Cheshley

I'm off out today for a couple of hours gentle pedalling to loosen my legs up then I have the 36 mile BHF thing on Saturday.

Only problem is that I've come down with a biatch of a cold

The Other Half goes back to work on 1st April and after that I'm a full time Dad so midweek riding will have to wait until it's light at night so I can get out after the boy has gone to bed (or talk Grandma into coming over for a couple of hours)

Hey Cheshley, have you ever used bikeroute toaster for route planning.....i was on it last night and found it really good, much better than bikely, you can upload and download in either GPX or TCX format, you get a route summary including elevation and the route can even be viewed in google KML, allowing you to view the route in 3D and even take a flight sim fly around the route, it also has a CYCLE viewing option (like terrain, hybrid or map view)
this gives you all the recognised cycle routes (bridlepaths/ways)

not bad that bike route toaster thing

Feast your eyes on my pasta making recipe guys..................

140g/5oz plain flour or better still Italian 'oo' flour
2medium eggs, 1 whole and 1 yolk (organic)



1. Place the flour in a food processor and pulse it. Add the whole egg and egg yolk and keep whizzing until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (it shouldn't be dusty, nor should it be a big, gooey ball). This takes 2-3 minutes.
2. Tip out the dough and knead to form into a ball shape. Knead it briskly for 1 minute, it should be quite stiff and hard to knead. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in a cool place for 1 hour before using.
3. Now cut the dough into 2 pieces. For each piece, flatten with a rolling pin to about 5mm/¼ in) thickness. Fold over the dough and pass it through the pasta machine at its widest setting, refolding and rolling 7 times (not changing the setting) until you have a rectangular shape 7.5x18cm/3x7 in. It is important to work the dough until it is nice and shiny, as this gives it the "al dente" texture. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
4. Now you are ready to roll out. Start with the pasta machine at its widest setting, pass the dough through the rollers. Do not fold but repeat this process, decreasing the roller setting down grade by grade with each pass. For most uses, I take the pasta down to the penultimate setting - especially for ravioli, as you are sandwiching two layers together when it is folded. Use straight away to make the ravioli.


A few tips.......

Always cover sitting dough with cling film or a damp tea towel to prevent it drying out.
- Do not add oil to the cooking water. It is a fallacy that it prevents sticking and is therefore a complete waste of oil.
- Do not dredge the pasta in flour to prevent sticking, as the flour turns to glue when cooked and, ironically, causes the pasta to stick together (using semolina flour from Italian delis instead will help).

Now go make and enjoy with your choice of sauces..........':D'
