Today began with a ridiculous sugar binge. Thinking I shouldn't do bacon and eggs for the about tenth time in as many days, I went to seven eleven and bought three sample packs of frosties and a pint UHT chocolate milk, as well as an iced coffee. It was a sickly sweet combination, that left me feeling a bit strange, won't be trying that one again. Maybe a half dozen pork buns will do the trick next time. I've gone off eating curries for breakfast and lunch lately, it doesn't sit as well as I would like on a long ride. So now I'm off the street food, save the kebabs, but almost everything available at seven eleven is too sweet. Including the pork buns which are like the asain equivalent of meat pies. Instead of a pie warmer you have a steamer cabinet full of different coloured pork buns, there are some truly disgusting fillings on offer - I don't know if this was a botched translation but one them is called 'rabbit cream'. The plain pork ones are passable. I was wracked by a mechanical on the way out of town - not a flat tyre this time thankfully - and my hands were covered in thick black grease by the time I had it fixed. This is testament to my overuse of WD40 on the chain, its now completely caked in black gunk and badly in need of replacement.
Ride was ok for the first 15, then became bland as I got to Nakhon Sawan. Today was kind of a nothing day, the shortest so far in preparation for the longest tomorrow.
