I had the best ever post-ride breakfast about an hour ago.

An wild mushroom omelette: the wild mushrooms in question being a couple of ceps that I picked on Cannock Chase this morning during a glorious pre-ride blast.

I met my riding buddy just as it was getting light and we rode up the cutting, did the Wolf, across the stepping stones then along and up to Crown Jewels, over to the Grail then up and round to the Stinger, rode up Sherbrook Valley a bit, where we popped into a really warm patch – it felt like a tumble drier then up to finish off down the Luge.

Perfect start to the day.

Its all about B’s original this week.

I’m nearly ready for a Werthers Original.

Noticed on the weekend there were lots of mushrooms dotted along the trails, how do you know what is safe to eat?

If they’re still there after 11am they’re inedible.
