If finally got out on my bike again this morning and I loved it....I've been making excuses for ages why I couldn't working late , kids, beer , Tele. But this morning I decided to just do it.
Off I went to find my trustee stead from the shed of bikes. I knew which one was to be ridden. Didn't bother with my riding kit just some shorts and a pink polo shirt lol and I clipped in and off I went.
Up the hill which ha always been a feature of my rides to the "track" I rolled on down remembering after a few seconds single finger braking but realising front brake is not what it used to be. Never mind there is still something there and I have a full y working back break. A rabbit decides to race me down and the smile is getting bigger and bigger. I start looking down the track like your supposed to just letting the bike role over everything swooping round the corners. But before long I am at the valley bottom and a nice ride along the old railway tracks beckons. I used to race this not anymore middle ring all the way I am riding my bike not racing. Quick jump off the old station platform of still got it lol. And then it's the long slog up the hill home but I don't care im riding my bike a bit saddle sore but so so happy proper smiling
Christ if I went out on my bike along a route like that after a lay off I would be puffing like an, erm, puffy thing that was out of breath rather than loving it. I am guessing you were rather fit before you had the lay off 🙂
Sounds a great ride, and you sound happy, nice post 🙂
