After a moan on here earlier in the week and my inane ability to sit around and not do very much, I finally gave in at 2:30pm and wheeled myself out on the mountain bike promising to do at least 4 miles.
8.81 miles later and i've got a massive smile on my face and a hot bath waiting for me.
I'm knackered I'll grant you but it was so worth it. Went from here to the local country park so nothing amazing really, but I did take the long way back as the bug and adrenaline had kicked in.
You folks were right, the hardest part was getting out on the bike, but it was definitely worth it when i did 😀
good stuff
well done 🙂
you always feel so much better afterwards! good stuff.
i haven't ridden for over a month, i now realise. i've been very slowly building my new bike. all it needs is the front mech sorted. you've just inspired me to finish it!
good effort make sure you do it again soon!
Come on Mrk mkll we want to see your new build 😉
I have the same sitting abilities Dogbert. I did manage to extract myself from in front of the computer at 3.30 I think. A quick hour's potter on the bike really does do a world of wonders doesn't it. I don't know why I have to remind myself of this all of the time.
You've done better than me then.
I've sat here all day thinking I'll go out in half an hour or so. 😳
MrK mkII I have boxes of spares in my cuboards, what kind of mech do you need?
As far as I'm concerned riding is freedom and most of the shit I have to do is a necessary 👿 good to hear you were out and about, I was out on my bike yesterday and thank **** for that!
I did 8.8 miles this morning also. Plus i Discovered some new singletrack to ride!
Only difference between mine and your ride is that I wasnt knackered after, despite only being out 40 odd minutes with and average speed of 11.8 ish mph.
Tis good to get out.
nice one Dogbert
you always feel so much better afterwards! good stuff.
Not so sure, i feel horrible at the moment (but contented I did what I did) It'll pass,i'm sure its just going from no exercise to actually doing some
you have got the muck mooving about dogbert thats why you feel gash.

hi kaesae, thank you very much for the offer 🙂 i've already got the mech, but i was working up to setting it up, dreading that it would be fraught with difficulty. turns out, it took only five minutes!
