Good call, especially now the mornings are that bit chillier and something warmer and more substantial than a bowl of Shreddies is needed before riding to work*.

*I'm assuming the porridge in question is the oaty sort, not the kind with Ronnie Barker in it.

My Dad (like me, a Midlander, but he did 4 years at the University of Dundee) assures me that a true Scots connoisseur of porridge would frown upon they way some of us (me included) living south of Carlisle make it - milk and any sweet stuff such as dried fruit or sugar are a no-no; the traditional way is just oats, water and a pinch of salt.
Having said that, recently I've found that milky porridge with fruit, along with a pot of not-too-strong coffee, a grapefruit and scrambled eggs on toast, makes a great race day breakfast - sustaining without being stodgy.
