So, just a few things to catch up on over my extended blogging hiatus.
I got a new bike back in June. A 2007 Triumph Daytona 675 triple in tornado red, which I picked up with only 1350km on the clocks. I then proceeded to crash it not even a month …

Anyone who has followed the news of the Tour de France for even 5 minutes will have realised that the sport of cycling is truly fraught with “chemically enhanced” participants. Where do you draw the line between ethics and ambition? There’s no such thing as a level playing field anymore. …

I hate eating. Always have, and will for the foreseeable future. I eat to survive, and I eat a hell of a lot; around 3700 calories at the moment of which only about 25% is fat. That’s all for now.

So what foods should you eat? This topic is pretty broad so all I’ll do is provide a few staples that people stick to when to eating healthy. Much of it is left open for interpretation as there are so many differing opinions in the nutrition industry. Also, all I’m …

So, how did I reach a result of 3250 calories? That number is based on my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) multiplied by an activity factor. To work out my BMR I used the Harris-Benedict formula:

Men: h = 66.4730 + (13.7516 x w) + (5.0033 x s) – (6.7550 x a)
