Steve's on the road just after 5am. The plan is to head to Spalding and visit Frankie & Bennies cafe. Today's breakfast of Champions was apple crumble & custard. Pocket food is 8 sausages and 1 flapjack.
The wurst kind

Today's breakfast of Champions was apple crumble & custard. Pocket food is 8 sausages and 1 flapjack.Eight sausages? Damn, I only provided six.I sense an escalating sausage war...
The last time I ate sausages was 1983. I was a wannabe plumber back then, serving my time in the maintenance department of Aer Rianta at Dublin Airport. It was a good job with regular hours but you needed a strong stomach. And you had to scrub your nails.We spent a lot of time fishing tampons from the sewage pipes and listening to fat men clear their bowels.But the bangers were great. They cooked them fresh every morning in the Mezzanine cafe and we'd nip up before 11.0 and take them back to the hut for our break. There's a lot to be said for a hot sausage sandwich. I almost won the Tour of Britain that year. Colum McCann came to interview me and wrote the story for the Evening Press. I was 'The Flying Plumber', a champion cyclist fuelled by pork.And then I was advised to stop.Mary McCreery was her name. She had a PhD in Nutrition from Trinity and had just been appointed to the Irish Olympic Team. Los Angeles was on the horizon. We were instructed to list everything we ate for a week and summoned to a meeting with the nutritionist.Mary was gifted and brilliant, but mostly she was gorgeous and it was a struggle to focus as she went through my forms. My mother's cooking was good, she said, and she seemed happy overall with the content, balance and variety of my diet. But then she dropped the bomb: there must be no more trips to the Mezzanine cafe before break-time.The sausages had to go.
Wurstkind would be Steve's German superhero name.
Well that rate of weight loss can't be sustained for very long. But losing weight means he burns less energy riding the bike and at-rest expenditure drops too.
