On yer bike…

Today, my first bike ride into the patch since the end of summer last year confirmed my suspicions that it wouldn’t be quite as easy as it was back then.

I used the bike a lot last summer but despite my visits to the gym over the winter the hills on the 19 mile round trip to Fazeley seemed to have grown particularly steeply in the last six months. But at least that’s the first one of the year out the way and, actually, although a bit cold it was satisfying.

Time is usually the problem because a 20 minute car journey is nearly an hour on the bike but after a few more decent trips out I’m determined to tackle the 50 mile round trip to Stafford when I can make the time. Beats going to the gym though… I really don’t enjoy that!!
