Wet Saturday

We were up at our usual time and toast for breakfast.we decided to go out on our mountain bikes along the old railway track " Marriotts Way" . It was a nice morning so after we had had a coffee and a hot cross bun we thought we might as well go and get it over with. We were going well but after we had gone 12 miles it suddenly turned much colder and began to rain. We were 10 miles from home and it rained all the rest of the way. Luckily it's quite shelterd with the overhanging trees so we didn't get too wet but I had to take my sunglasses off because I couldn't see. There were several trees down along the track since we last went and 2 were newly down because they were still across the track. H is going out tomorrow with son in law for a long ride so I made a nice pasta bake for dinner this evening to get him round. ::: 5 rashers of bacon, 8 mushrooms, an onion, some peas, 5 oz pasta shells, 4 oz cheese and a jar of Asda tomato and garlic sauce. :::: Cook pasta and while its cooking, dry fry bacon, then add onion to pan and cook till its soft, fry mushrooms ( add a little oil if needed ) and add frozen peas. Put it all in a casserole dish, pour on the sauce, grate and add cheese and bake in oven for around 30 mins at 200 degrees c. It makes 2 large dishes and you will be able to fly on your bike the next day.
