    Warm up consists of eat a banana and brush me teeth! That's for a 20 miler.

    In winter it's brush teeth whilst standing against a radiator.

    Stretch, get dressed and drink coffee.

    Helps to loosen muscles and avoid injury - the stretching that is.

    04.15 - Alarm. Feel sorry for myself. Get dressed.
    04.20 - Take dog out.
    04.25 - Banana or chewy bar and glass of milk.
    04.30 - Bathroom
    04.35 - Out the door and on the bike, swearing loudly.
    Rules are for fools.

    I thought that current thinking was that you shouldn't stretch until muscles were warmed up.....

    ...and warming/stretching down is just as important.

    Depending on the monster 3 year old
    Alarm - loo - dress - tea - porridge- pack - kiss wife and child(I'd he's up by then) - leave on bike.

    Or elbow in eye and 'wake up daddy!!' followed by the above except for adding some odd chat about lighting McQueen over my horridge, on the upside he likes to help me put my cycling shoes on, saves my old bones from creaking and moaning.

    6:30 alarm
    Tea for missus.
    Eat porridge whilst reading online papers / running & cycling websites
    7:05 dressed & toiletted
    7:15 kids up
    7:20 out - straight up 1:6 hill then flattish for the rest of the 20-22m into work.

    No warm-ups for me. Hill gets the legs going (especially if I'm on Fixie)
