Started riding my bike
Last Monday morning I got up and rode my mostly-unused mountain bike for a quick 14 minute circuit around our suburb. It was really nice to be up kinda-early in the day, and active. First time I’d ridden the bike since early Autumn and when I got home I had whirling spots in my vision. Guess I pushed a bit harder than I could handle!On the Wednesday I rode over to Chip’s for a coffee, and we ended up riding off to the NRG Cycles to get some slicks put on instead of the knobblies which I got the bike with. Rode home along the highway bikepath with the knobblies slung over my shoulders – not too bad an experience, although when they slipped down my range of movement decreased dramatically.This morning I rode @ 0600 again. Same route as last week, took about 13 minutes… I guess the tyres made a bit of a difference. What I’m more pleased about is that I actually did it. I hope to keep this going – heck, I need to keep it going. One day I hope to be able to fit into the supporter’s jersey that Spoonboy gave me after J and I assisted him with the Vaude Highland Fling nearly 2 years ago…. though having recently moved house, of course I can’t find it!
