We started off our Saturday as we usually do at the Victoria Market for our weekly fruit/vegetable/meat/fish etc shop. After a tip-off from a work colleague, we ordered our jam donuts today with “double jam” – and they were “double delicious”, and at no extra cost!
On the way home we called in to pick up my bike, which was all nicely fixed as promised yesterday. Another fine repair job, reasonable cost and friendly service from Rapido Cycles in Niddrie. If you’re from the North-West of Melbourne, I highly recommend them!
It was such a beautiful afternoon, I had to go and test out the newly repaired bike of course, so I headed out just after 1pm. Proving it was the best weather for some time, I ventured out bare-legged (ie no long tights) and without a jacket (some days recently I’ve been wearing two!). I also tried out one of my Father’s Day presents (I know, it’s not until tomorrow) – a new pair of 2XU cycle shorts. Very nice too! Anyway, just under 32km, at a reasonable average pace of just under 28 km/hr. Average heart rate of 82%, which is pretty good for me on the bike, so I did put in the effort!

I salivated at the thought of vic market jam donuts, having scoffed many of them in my time and they are hands down my favourite donuts (and I have never met a donut I didn’t like).
I have just been diagnosed with fructose malabsorption, which means I will need to cut out (or, in my case down upon) wheat as they contain fructans. These are one of the things I will miss. I would tolerate a big bloat n fart for them though!
