First time on a bike in years!!!

[Fern1988]

Hello, I've recently moved to the Oxfordshire area, and yesterday was my first time on a bike in 10
Years. Cycling on the ridgeway in the claggyest boggy mud I've ever been through! Making it near impossible to ride! However with some serious will power I managed 11 miles after two messy falls, and still want to get back out next week . Only notes are, I'm not biking on the ridge way after that much rain again, not to try and cycle through slippery mud.... I will fall off and that I'm seriously unfit! Lol once I improve my fitness would hopefully be looking to go out biking with other people.... Just need to be a little less shamefully unfit first lol

Fern.

If you can do that kind of distance in those conditions I think you've done okay for a first ride back. It'll be much easier when everything dries out a bit.
